Welcome

From 2017-2023 on International Women's Day Engender charted the work done by women across Scotland using #MakingWorkVisible

By work, we mean much more than the paid labour which most economists count as “work”. We know much of the work done by women – caring, looking after households, making sure everyone is supported – is often invisible in society. We also know that without this work, the work done by others would not happen.

We've collected these stories, blogs and tweets from women in all walks of life across Scotland to highlight the work done by women, and to make the case that this work needs to be recognised and valued.
