Happy International Women's Day 2021 -
SMTJ in conversation with Dorothy Byrne
Happy International Women’s Day to all the amazing women in our community!
Today we’d like to share with you all an interview SMTJ’s Michelle James-Reynolds did with the utterly incredible Dorothy Byre, Channel 4’s Editor-at-Large.
In the interview Dorothy gives her take a whole range of issues affecting women in our industry, including her own experiences of sexual harassment and gendered discrimination and her experience of becoming a single mum at 45. She talks about why for many women in television, choosing to have a baby is “like Hannibal planning the crossing of the Alps”, how the culture of the industry and a lack of support for young women leads to a disproportionate number now freezing their eggs and why senior figures should be doing more to facilitate change.
She talks about why she thinks more employers should be hosting training on issues around childcare and flexible working, fertility issues and what compelled her to push for the introduction of a Menopause Policy at Channel 4: the first of its kind at any UK broadcaster. -
