International Women’s Day is fast approaching and this year’s theme is 'make it happen', a theme aimed at encouraging effective action for advancing and recognising women. And we do need to make it happen; in the workplaces where women still earn less than men; in the offices where women are rarely…

Petition to sign: Grazia magazine is petitioning for Section 78 of the Equality Act 2010 to be enacted. This would mean businesses with 250 employees or more would have to publish anonymised details annually about the hourly pay of men and women they employ. This transparency would help end the gender pay divide.

Imagine if you looked up your favourite film online and found… nothing. That's the case for far too many classics of feminist film.

25 - 26 July, ICA, London, UK
