International Women’s Day – our pledge

Today is International Women’s Day (IWD).

Today and every other day, we strive for a gender equal world. We work towards a world free of bias, free of stereotypes and free of discrimination. We cultivate a world that’s diverse, equitable and inclusive. We want a world where difference is valued and celebrated.

What we know is that together, we can forge women’s equality. Collectively, we can all #BreakTheBias.

Yours Only is a female founded business, with a team that is 100% female. Majority of our customers are female and we celebrate every person in our community and beyond, for their challenges, achievements, courage and bravery.

To support our all-female team we’ve joined the @KinFertility Movement and increased our miscarriage leave policy to 10 days of paid miscarriage leave – setting a new benchmark for Australia.

Trigger warning: this content relates to miscarriage, stillbirth and infant loss.

We’ve updated our miscarriage policy, and here’s why:
– 1 in 5 pregnancies experience a miscarriage, with most occurring in the first 12 weeks of gestation
– Women need about 7 days, on average, just to physically recover
Yet the government mandate for miscarriage leave is only 2 days.
– 45% of women surveyed said they did not disclose their miscarriage to their employer
– 72% were not emotionally ready when they returned to work
