Originally scheduled for three days beginning May 13, in London, the conference has shifted to a digital format due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Mary Kay has participated in a virtual session entitled ‘A Conversation with TIME’S UP UK’, discussing important issues such as #MeToo and how the ensuing TIME’S UP movement has led to re-thinking women’s safety on film and television sets, as well as other industries worldwide.
Mary Kay UK and Ireland general manager, Carolyn Passey will open the session focusing on changes TIME’S UP UK is seeking to implement, navigating the line between personal and professional, and aiding those who frequently find themselves vulnerable and exploited while filming.
“Today, as the COVID-19 crisis is exacerbating women's vulnerabilities and gender inequality, we know trust and safety are more critical than ever for women to thrive,” said Passey in a statement.
“The workplace should be a safe and dignified place for all of us. How can we ensure and demand this happens? I look forward to the discussion on the topic with thought leaders from around the world.”
The content and speakers will be broadcast globally in a series of virtual sessions shared weekly at https://www.iwforum.org/.
