Our Impact

Through thought-provoking interviews with Senior Officers and Officials and comprehensive dialogues on headline topics, we stimulate fresh perspectives and encourage the defence sector to reassess its practices. Our aim is not just to question the status quo, but to propose practical solutions that promote equity and inclusivity.

In 2023 we interviewed David Williams CB and Lt Gen James Swift. In each of the interviews, Angela Owen asks the tough questions about gender balance and equity within the MoD. What lessons have been learned that can influence wider defence? What changes have they made to further women’s and men’s opportunities within the MoD?

We invite our partners, and our wider community to join us in this challenge. Whether it's by attending our discussions or contributing insights, your involvement is key to driving change.  

By achieving a critical mass of women in defence we will accelerate gender equity
