Fair conditions

We want to see workplaces and conditions designed to meet the needs of women (including trans) and non binary people.

Equal pay and no gender pay gap
Flexibility, with caring responsibilities supported for all staff and all dependents
Safe spaces free of sexism

As intersectional feminists we know that to create long lasting change, we need to improve conditions for everyone in the sector. At every level.

Organisations

Fair Museum Jobs are doing a great job of championing diversity in hiring. We recommend you look at their website for articles on CVS, salaries and post grad qualifications.
