Rooted In Money is a bold, provocative and solutions focused series with clear calls to action.

This Women’s Series for International Women’s Day wasn’t any different.

The series interrogated the inequalities inherent in our financial systems from a gendered perspective and drilled down on the component issues that contribute and compound the gender wealth gap. All the contributors are amazing women making a difference to the daily lives of women and girls – they live and breathe intentionality and collaboration in the work they lead.

We were thrilled to have such a powerful group spanning financial services and civil society contribute thought-provoking, provocative and insightful piece

All the blogs can now be found in one location:

Starting with an introductory blog by our CEO Muna Yassin MBE – The Math isn’t Mathing 

Kate Pender – High-Cost Credit Cycle and Women
