Does Sexism Still Exist Within UK Fashion Manufacturing?

3.30pm–4pm | Drop in

What is it like to be a woman working within UK fashion manufacturing today?

Join Abigail Wastie and an all-women panel for an open conversation exploring gender, leadership, working culture and women's experiences across UK fashion manufacturing.

Bringing together different perspectives from within the industry, the discussion will consider the experiences of women working, making and leading within a sector that continues to evolve.

Where has progress been made? Where do inequalities or barriers remain? And how can women's experiences help shape the future culture of UK fashion manufacturing?

Part of The Ethical Atelier, the panel creates a space to hear directly from women within the industry and explore some of the questions behind the clothes and products we buy.
