To Health2047s Lcia Soares, the political climate has increased awareness around challenges and highlighted work that remains due to unconscious bias. Since the launch of the MeToo movement, theres been a surge in the conversations and awareness around the challenges women face in the home, work, politics and everyday life. Indeed, theres a recognition that were still a long way off from gender equity.But has increased awareness moved the needle on womens issues?Its less clear whether the challenges that women face have changed in any appreciable way because of this recent attention, said Health2047 Managing Director Lcia Soares. I think women and men are having more candid conversations about the challenges facing women, but substantive progress only occurs when words turn into action.
