The supportive power of PCS women's network
Judy tells us about how being part of the PCS women's network provides a supportive community for working together on the issues that effect women in and out of the workplace.
I've been a PCS member for nearly ten years and an equality rep for one year.
In 2023, I volunteered to join the PCS London and south east (LSE) women’s network as I thought it was important to connect with a wide spectrum of PCS members across the departments/arm’s length bodies. I'm a keen advocate for supporting women/carers/equality issues in the workplace.
I really enjoy working with the PCS women’s network to foster a community where we support each other and help to identify the barriers that currently still exist for women, including discrimination on the grounds of age, race, sex, disability, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, pregnancy, religion, beliefs or whether in a marriage or civil partnership and gender-based violence etc.
My hope is that the PCS LSE women's network will continue to facilitate greater connection with members across all employers and provide a space for women to have a supportive environment to learn, collaborate, build friendships and feel a part of a community where their voices are heard!
