After being made redundant, Stacey Duguid found herself confronting discrimination based on both her age and her sex as she tried to return to work.

Stacey’s experience struck a nerve!

Women began sharing their own stories of ageism, rejection and being overlooked. What started as one woman speaking out became a growing collective voice. ENCORE was created to turn those individual experiences into collective action. Today, ENCORE brings together women aged 45+ to share their experiences, support one another and stand together, while campaigning to change the systems and culture that exclude experienced women from work.
