SEEN in the City

'SEEN in the City' is a Sex Equality and Equity Network for Financial Services professionals committed to promoting and supporting sex equality and equity between women and men in our workplaces. Our focus is on challenging sex discrimination and upholding rights and protections that relate to sex. These include the protections provided to those with the protected characteristics of sex, pregnancy and maternity and sexual orientation, as set out in the Equality Act 2010. We recognise that to achieve this and ensure sex equality and equity sometimes requires treating men and women differently, according to our different rights and needs. We are also committed to the protected belief (covered by the protected characteristic of religion and belief in the Equality Act 2010) that sex is binary and immutable, that sex matters for both women and men in our everyday lives, including for our rights and needs in the workplace, and that sex must not be conflated with, or replaced by, the concepts of gender or gender identity.
