Joanne Wilson, Deputy to the Director, ITU Radiocommunication Bureau writes in her blog: “Women often experience speaking up only to get ignored. A man might say the same thing, and suddenly it’s a “brilliant idea”. When that happens, know that the man who followed you heard your good idea, agreed with it, and wanted the idea captured. Don’t let it get you down.”
