I have given talks and spoken publicly on this issue before, but two things really struck me this time. Firstly, the importance of doing a talk like this at the start of the awareness week. I am standing on the shoulders of giants who have gone before and who continue to do such...]]></description><link>https://www.anyasizer.com/post/starting-national-fasd-awareness-week-as-i-mean-to-go-on</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a99311c20b9c897c30399ac</guid><pubDate>Thu, 03 Sep 2026 09:22:22 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/a0e051_cfb19afc387a4421adab11c4162d0ddb~mv2.webp/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>anyasizer</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The move from Fertility treatment to Adoption.

This issue has been neglected for far too long, despite the efforts of dedicated campaigners and organizations striving to be heard. With only 2% of annual funding allocated to pregnancy, childbirth, and female reproductive health research, and...]]></description><link>https://www.anyasizer.com/post/time-for-a-new-mandate-for-endometriosis</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a9479fd6625a445492224e1</guid><pubDate>Sun, 30 Aug 2026 18:55:21 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/11062b_81c1246e85784c3f9ed556ad2c9f353f~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>anyasizer</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Missing potential , the scandal of mid life women AI and the workplace.]]></title><description><![CDATA[I recently spoke with Stacey Duguid for the Fabian Women's Network regarding the challenges women face in midlife, particularly how AI bias in recruitment is impacting their careers. From conversations with friends and family, I recognize this is a pressing issue as talent and experience are often disregarded, leading to a significant pool of potential being overlooked. I'm glad to see the Government starting to tackle this problem and hope it will highlight the remarkable talent among...]]></description><link>https://www.anyasizer.com/post/writing</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a82f75f0184b89c47fdc73d</guid><pubDate>Mon, 17 Aug 2026 12:03:49 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/916d1f_3ea8865d405749289536fbf28d32487f~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_415,h_739,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>anyasizer</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Increasing representation in Politics]]></title><description><![CDATA[Mums in Politics: Why Representation Matters Launching the Mums in Politics Pamphlet  as Vice Chair of the Fabian Women's network at Labour Conference was a proud moment—and the culmination of a robust and important piece of work.

One such area I have worked on over many years is the reality of parenting after fertility treatment. The wonderful "normality" of the experience often overlooks the nuances of the journey to get there, and most importantly, the potential impact of that journey.

Moments that have made me realise how much of a crossroads we are at in terms of our children’s education and the value we place on the whole child before us. The first was a hugely positive one, and one of pride in being a member of our party. A reassuring moment for when the in-fighting all gets too much and reminds us of the difference a Labour government can make. It came when I was sitting in a meeting at Labour...]]></description><link>https://www.anyasizer.com/post/how-politicians-are-managing-their-time-at-work</link><guid isPermaLink="false">61f9415a5ceab097a3a1dd00</guid><pubDate>Tue, 01 Feb 2022 14:19:06 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/916d1f_1e2d8e5bf3bb4091a73360d608f12096~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_275,h_183,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>anyasizer</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
