Menopause often coincides with a critical phase in a woman's career, when experience, insight, and leadership potential are at their highest. But symptoms like brain fog, fatigue, hot flashes, and mood swings can disrupt work and energy levels. The issue isn't the symptoms, it's the silence surrounding them. Women are expected to "power through." Some do, but for many it turns into what is known as the midcareer cliff.
Up to a million women worldwide are facing sexual violence and forced labour in prisons, where they are overlooked and forgotten, in what is being called a growing global crisis. The number of incarcerated women is rising much faster than men and is expected to surpass one million on current trends. While on average women account for between 2% and 9% of national prison populations, since 2000 the number imprisoned has grown by 57%, compared with a 22% increase in the men's prison population.
More than 733,000 women and girls are held in penal institutions globally, according to the Institute for Crime and Justice Policy Research, either as pre-trial detainees or remand prisoners, or having been convicted and sentenced. The actual total is thought to be much higher, as figures for five countries are not available and those for China are incomplete. Women are
A claim of clearly insufficient punishment has been submitted against Crystal Palace FC Women's Ruesha Littlejohn. "The player was sent off around the 58th minute for violent conduct, and the standard punishment is a three-match ban, but it's claimed that this penalty is clearly insufficient."
Sponsorship, or the act of using your own social capital to advocate for a junior employee, is often touted as a fix for inequities and key for fostering the talent pipeline. While it's true that most protégés generally benefit from receiving sponsorship, this relationship doesn't have to be only about the protégé. It can also present an opportunity for the sponsor to grow, allowing them to deepen and expand their own relationships with peers and senior leaders as they help connect a junior employee.
Women are ruining the workplace. Before women, of course, the workplace was perfect. It was full of trees. There was no need to labor with your hands. You didn't have to wear pants, or any form of clothes. Every kind of animal was there. You could just sit around all day and call, "Quiet. Quiet, piggy!"and nobody batted an eye, except for the pigs. It was your job to name them.
When I was pregnant, other women bombarded me with advice, perhaps because that was supposed to be a "joyous" time and people wanted to share in it, but this was different. This was the darker side of womanhood. I started researching phrases like "sex in your 40s," "pissed at my family all the time," and "left boob pain; am I dying?" When that didn't garner satisfactory answers,
Women are being warned they could get left behind by advancements in technology after a study revealed they are twice as likely to hold jobs under threat from AI. The findings showed that female-dominated roles, such as administration, bookkeeping, cashiers, and office staff, are more vulnerable to job loss as a result of automation. To compound the issue, women were also found to be 20 per cent less likely to engage with generative AI tools than men,
Kara Dunn held her right wrist aloft for an extra beat. Just to be sure. It had been a while, by that point in the second quarter, since USC had seen a deep jumper drop. As Dunn lifted off from behind the arc against Portland on Tuesday, 19 of the Trojans' previous 20 three-point attempts, going back to Saturday's battle with South Carolina, had missed, a stretch of futility strange to a team that mostly scored at will a season ago.
After also going nine games unbeaten to start this season, the Blues have surpassed their own record of 33 games unbeaten, set between February 2019 and January 2021. That was not the only landmark hit this weekend, though, with Millie Bright also becoming the all-time appearance maker in the WSL. Here, using Opta data, we break down the six-time WSL champions' unprecedented streak.
I grew up in Anhui Province, China, and earned my bachelor's degree in finance and economics. I joined EyeBuyDirect in 2007, starting in an entry-level role in the finance department. After eight years of working full time, I did my master's in Shanghai. I was drawn to EyeBuyDirect's mission and digital-first model, and I saw a unique opportunity to grow with a brand. Over time, I assumed additional responsibilities in operations, product development, marketing, and general management, and developed leadership skills through hands-on experience.
They also pointed out the things I didn't share with my male predecessors, but failed to mention all the experience I had that they lacked. We still treat women at the helm as exceptions and judge them by a blueprint built for men. The question isn't whether a "perfect" woman can endure the old rules; it's whether we're willing to rewrite them.
Still, Trump, 18, didn't make the cut, not after finishing last among 108 players with a two-round total of 18-over, 27 shots behind leader Grace Kim and 17 away from the projected cut line. The granddaughter of President Trump improved eight strokes to a 75 in the second round of the tournament hosted by Hall of Famer Annika Sorenstam at Pelican Golf Club in Belleair, Fla.
Before she came to USC, it had never occurred to Jazzy Davidson how charmed her basketball upbringing had been. Growing up outside of Portland, nearly all of her years playing the game were spent with the same tight-knit group of girls - girls who'd been best friends since before the fifth grade and who, after all that time, could anticipate her every move before she made it. "They're basically my sisters," Davidson says.
Rangers against Celtic kicks off a weekend of three derbies in the Scottish Women's Premier League as the Glasgow rivals meet under the lights at Ibrox on Friday. Always intriguing games, they can also prove significant in terms of the title race, but there is a danger that might not be the case this season. Both have been off the pace so far this term, with Celtic sitting in third, six points behind leaders Glasgow City and one off reigning champions Hibernian,
Nearly one in 10 women serving in the British military have been subjected to an assault or other non-consensual sexual activity in the previous year, according to the first official survey of sexual harassment across the armed forces. A third said they had been groped or touched in a way that made them feel uncomfortable, according to the Ministry of Defence, and two-thirds reported at least one form of sexual harassment or sexualised behaviour,
There was a deep loneliness to karting, and then definitely in single-seaters, because no one else was going through the same thing as me, says Susie Wolff as she remembers her long struggle in motorsport, from racing as a teenager against Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg to her determined, but unfulfilled, quest to become a Formula One driver.
The brief and deeply unsettling encounter lasted just a few seconds, sparking outrage across Mexico and beyond as it laid bare what many women in the country face daily. But for those who have spent years tracking women in politics, the incident in which a drunken man attempted to kiss Mexico's president, Claudia Sheinbaum, on the neck and grope her was shocking but not entirely surprising.
