I'm a bit sceptical of Women's Initiatives in companies. Because really, whatever problems a woman faces and needs help with, it's a bit restrictive to think that we are the only ones affected and the only ones who need help. Surely, there's not much that is the sole domain of a woman any more (besides pregnancy perhaps and there's maternal leave to take care of that) But honestly. Things like low confidence, parenting needs, handling stress. we've got it equally dealt out between the sexes. And to say there's discriminiation that women suffer from; well thats an issue that all stakeholders need to resolve and is not really the realm of a Women's Initiative.

As someone's friend put it after attending one of these meetings "I'm doomed. I'm a woman." :p
