Can women have it all?
Join us as we chat through your answers to this question that kick start some amazing discussions around what having 'it all' means to each of us, maternity policies, your rights, and the support working mothers need to ensure they are given the same opportunities as everyone else.
We also talk about the gender pay and promotions gap, and highlight just how far we still have to go until women are paid equally in the workplace.
