The ‘Mothers I’d Like To Hire’ Talk At Dubai Lynx Has REALLY Annoyed Some People

Avatar

What started as a positive conversation by a panel at Dubai Lynx conference has upset a few people. 

The creative communications conference hosted a panel titled ‘Mothers I’d Like To Hire’; designed to address the ‘noticeable lack of mothers in advertising’, and show why the industry needs working mums. 

However it ended up leaving some feeling a bit miffed as the panel discussion made some feel like it was more about mothers versus non-mothers, rather than the benefits of employing those with children. 

One speaker was quoted saying: “You can’t expect a mum to work in the same way as a male”

Tweets questioned the sentiments behind the talk, kicking off a twitter discussion about the choice in words 

One was also quoted saying: “mothers add humanity to creativity”

The panel discussion video will be available for viewing at the end of the conference
