SUMMARY:Webinar: Remote and Flexible Work: Why It Matters for Women
DESCRIPTION:IWPR hosted an insightful webinar on the importance of remote and flexible work in supporting women's health and well-being—especially in communities of color and for people with disabilities. Experts shared findings from a recent survey on women's access to flexible work\, along with new IWPR research on gender and racial differences in remote work and its impact on daily life\, including exercising.  \nModerated by IWPR's Robyn Watson Ellerbe\, the discussion featured Jasmin Bailey\, Binderiya Byambasuren\, Ariane Hegewisch\, Natalia Ramírez Lee\, and Dr. Ebony Roberts\, who highlighted why expanding\, rather than eliminating\, workers' choices over when and where they do their jobs is critical for gender and racial equity.  \nThank you to all who joined us\, and for those who missed it\, it's not too late to hear this important conversation!   \nDownload the slides and watch the webinar.
