Arcola Podcast

Seven in ten workers on the frontline of the pandemic are female. In the last year, more women have lost jobs, been furloughed and taken on unpaid care than men. Have women faced a disproportionate emotional and mental burden during the pandemic? Have we lost some of the gains made towards women’s liberation? Hear from Titilola Dawudu (Company Director for Sour Lemons), Eliane Glaser (Author of Motherhood: A Manifesto), and Resham Kotecha (Head of Engagement for Women2Win), led in discussion by our Chair Dr Hannah Barham-Brown (Deputy Leader for Women's Equality Party). Arcola’s series of free, online discussions, #ArcolaConversations, provide a chance to reconnect with the community, explore big ideas and imagine the future together at this time of historic upheaval. This discussion took place on Tuesday 22 June 2021.
