Twitter: @Women_Ahead @womensday #EACHFOREQUAL #GBS2020 Instagram: @_movingahead @Internationalwomensday_global #EACHFOREQUAL #GBS2020 1 I often say to my younger self: ‘Why didn’t you bask in that first contract? That unexpected success?’ Revel in your successes rather than focus on any flaws.

We witnessed a dramatic butterfly effect after last year’s event, not just on the day itself, but throughout 2019. The Gender Balance Summit now sits at the heart of the ‘Summit Series by Moving Ahead’. The Summit Series – an annual calendar of three events celebrating International Women’s Day, National Inclusion Week and International Men’s Day – has put truly diverse speakers and stories on stage and camera, and honours our belief in the power of storytelling by sharing them with individuals and organisations worldwide. @Women_Ahead | @_movingahead | #EACHFOREQUAL | #GBS2020 4 For me, highlights of the Summit Series 2019 were social justice campaigner Karl Lokko wowing the audience with poetry at the Gender Balance Summit 2019 (he’s appearing this year alongside ‘The woman who took on the gangs’ – Pastor Mimi Asher). Founder of disability inclusion campaign The Valuable 500, Caroline Casey, bringing the audience to tears at the Inclusion & Diversity Summit for National Inclusion Week in September. And transgender activist Jake Graf sharing his hopes for his future children at the Agency & Advocacy Summit for International Men’s Day in November (his wife Hannah Graf is sharing her thoughts on equality for everyone today). These stories and many more, as well as the incredible feedback we receive from the participants to each summit, never fail to remind me of what, at Women Ahead and Moving Ahead, we hold to be true: that stories have a unique power to create learning, connection and, above all, inclusion. My wish is that we all take action on what we see here today – action towards including others in any way we can. In the spirit of inclusion, today’s event is both live and digital – so whether you are watching at the beautiful Royal Institution, at an internal event or even at your desk later in the year – we hope that you enjoy it. Please save the date for our next summit on 28th September 2020. I would love to see you there. Liz Dimmock, Founder and CEO, Women Ahead and Moving Ahead @Women_Ahead | @_movingahead | #EACHFOREQUAL | #GBS2020 5 It gives me great pleasure that once again the 30% club is partnering with Women Ahead to celebrate International Women’s Day with this fantastic summit. Today you will hear from an incredible selection of men and women who perfectly represent this year’s IWD theme of #EachforEqual by actively choosing to ‘challenge stereotypes, fight bias, broaden perceptions, improve situations and celebrate women's achievements’. This theme resonates perfectly with the 30% Club. From the beginning it has been largely men as Chairmen and CEOs, as allies of women, that made the commitment to increase representation of women on their boards and in their executive teams. The last 12 months have seen incredible progress: in the UK, the FTSE 350 has now achieved more than 30% women on boards and the FTSE 100 is up to one third. In February 2019 the Government announced that FTSE 100 companies have hit the 33% target for gender diversity on boards, one year ahead of time @Women_Ahead | @_movingahead | #EACHFOREQUAL | #GBS2020 6 One third of all board positions in the FTSE 100 There is of course much more to be done. We still only companies have a handful of women CEOs and Chairs in the FTSE are now female, 100 and beyond. Around the world, from Brazil to Japan, to China and the gulf countries, the target of 30% is a up from just long way off. Artificial Intelligence has incredible potential 12.5% in 2011 to makes things better, but algorithms and data are still found riddled with bias and women play a limited role in their design. The world so far has been designed without women in mind and without women involved. With this year’s theme of #EachForEqual I hope we all draw inspiration to work tirelessly for a gender balanced world, a world that works better for everyone. Ann Cairns Global co-Chair, 30% Club; Executive Vice Chairman, Mastercard @Women_Ahead | @_movingahead | #EACHFOREQUAL | #GBS2020 7 Share today’s event with your UK and global colleagues Organisations tell us that they are continually looking for innovative, engaging and inclusive stories and insights for their colleagues to learn and be inspired by.

    THE TERMLY E-NEWSLETTER FOR EXONIANS HILARY TERM 2013 Welcome... to the latest edition of Exeter Matters, the termly electronic newsletter for Exonians. RECTOR’S NEWS It must be spring: only last week, the Classicists coming back from Mods were being showered with celebratory buckets of water – hardly necessary, given the downpour. And a crocus is blooming in a corner of the front quad, protected by the President of the JCR who has asked that the grass be left uncut while it flowers. FRANCES CAIRNCROSS But it has been a grey and rainy term, with the Thames in flood and Torpids nearly cancelled. We have cheered ourselves up in a number of ways this term. Our rowers did not do brilliantly but our rugby team won the Cuppers Plate. After some debate, we marked our commitment to equality and diversity by flying the Rainbow Flag at the end of February. The Ken Colyer New Orleans Legacy Jazz Band led the annual march around the three Turl Street quads as part of a wonderfully successful Turl Street Arts Festival, and then blew their horns for a Prohibition themed party in Hall, under the stern gaze of Rector Farnell, who once said that such jazz “comes from the devil”. As part of our build-up to next year’s 700th anniversary celebrations, Sir Paul Nurse gave a memorable lecture on “Great ideas of biology, both historical and looking THE WINNING RUGBY forward” to an audience of students, alumni and friends of the College. It was as TEAM riveting for non-scientists as it was for scientists.

  • The Life Course of Labia: Female Genital Cutting in Somaliland Caroline Ackley
    Caroline Ackley_Draft The life course of labia: female genital cutting in Somaliland Caroline Ackley Abstract This chapter explores Somaliland women’s experiences of female genital cutting (FGC) over the life course. It argues that FGC is not only a key life phase for Somali women but also an experience whose meaning is understood differently during different life phases. It ethnographically explores the meaning and values associated with women’s bodies when they are babies, as well as during girlhood, puberty, early adulthood, motherhood, and menopause. It builds on a concept of the body as an ‘inside’ and an ‘outside’ analysing the boundary created by women’s labia. It argues that the physical folding in and opening up of the labia mirrors the societal folding in of multiple moralities and the potential opening up of new opportunities for women in Somaliland. This chapter is about Somaliland women’s experiences of female genital cutting (FGC). I use the phrase female genital cutting as opposed to female genital circumcision or female genital mutilation (FGM) to address linguistic misalignment and its consequences, as well as to avoid underrepresenting Somali women through “a single story” (Adichie 2009) where their life experiences are reduced simply to those of their genitalia. Although this chapter takes women’s labia as the foci of its analysis, it ultimately aims to shed light on the complexity of women’s lives and the myriad experiences of FGC over the life course. Much has been written about female genital cutting, and this chapter intends to problematise many representations and moral evaluations by foregrounding women’s descriptions of FGC over the life course.

The merger was achieved via a transfer of engagements from Hanover Housing Association to Anchor Trust under a process provided for under the Co-operative and Community Benefit Societies Act 2014. Prior to the merger, Anchor Trust converted from a company limited by guarantee to become a Community Benefit Society which facilitated the subsequent transfer of engagements. We determined that the application of merger accounting would be appropriate and therefore the financial results and reporting are presented as if the merged entity had always existed. Similarly the governance section presents reports from Committees established in the post-merger period. The processes and systems of the pre-merger organisations largely continued to operate separately between 29 November 2018 and 31 March 2019 as the process of integration commenced.
