I was very excited to attend a debate at the House of Commons about ‘The Sisterhood’, earlier this month.  Along with a diverse group of game-changing women, the goal was to define a collective vision for what constitutes a 21st Century sisterhood. The debate was filmed and will be used as part of a documentary about women in leadership - look out for more details about this soon.

 

The debate centred on the statistic that many women wish that there was a real and dependable sisterhood - one that inspires, supports and shares. Questions were asked and discussed: ‘So why isn’t there one? Why do women feel unsupported by other women? What are the real and lasting benefits for a sisterhood and how do we make this work for every woman?’

 

It was a very interesting discussion with many viewpoints!
