We have come together to introduce nine bills to fight back against these biases and advance gender equality in the UK and beyond. This International Women’s Day has been a moment of reflection for women across the world.

And we want you to be part of it. With just 1% of rape cases going to trial, Wera’s Bill would help build trust between police and victims and make sure that the number of victims who drop out of the system falls. Christine’s Bill would ensure that the environment we live in is built with women’s safety in mind.

As well as academic success, Professor Godsell has held many senior positions in industry. Nicole started her career as an engineering sponsored student with Metalbox – a 15yr career that led to exciting manufacturing leadership roles throughout Europe. Subsequent varied management roles in the support sector have seen Nicole develop and collaborate in technology & innovation strategies in a whole variety of companies in a plethora of sectors. Since joining Made Smarter Innovation, Natalie has become an EDI advocate at Innovate UK, a champion for equality, diversity and inclusion within the challenge team. But we must lead by example and celebrate the women in the manufacturing sector and their diverse backgrounds to inspire the next generation of manufacturers.

For me, the key is to do everything we can to break the stereotypical image of industry and encourage more young girls to pursue STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) careers.

I still vividly remember when I used to go to see dad at work and wandering around the factory.
