This special one off International Women’s Day 2026 video podcast from WUN cuts through the noise with a simple message: progress isn’t guaranteed.

This year’s themes – Rights. Justice. Action. For ALL Women and Girls and Give to Gain – challenges leaders, organisations and allies to step up, share power and take meaningful action that drives equity forward.

Hosted by Hayley Monks, Co Founder of WUN and Managing Director of Echo, this conversation brings together a panel of respected leaders who are shaping workplace culture and inclusion:

• Judy Middleton, HR Director – Natural Resources, Nuclear & Networks, Kier
• Sally Brett, Head of Culture and EDI, Affinity Water
• Glenda Duggan, Managing Director, Accenture

Join us as we explore what it really takes to advance DEI, why ‘giving’ is essential to truly ‘gain’, and how failing to act risks taking us backwards. Real talk, real stories, real change.
