Empowering all women to achieve a fair and inclusive society
We bring women together to improve quality of life for all. We began by getting women into the police force and winning environmental improvements.
For the past 130 years we have campaigned with you and for you. Our early successes include helping to get wives and husbands’ incomes assessed separately for tax, regulation of chemicals in food, controlling the export of live animals, increasing provision of sheltered accommodation for older people, exhaust emission controls, organ transplant provision, controlling antibiotics in farming and, more recently, achieving a Minister for Equality.
This year we celebrate:
- helping House of Lords persuade the government to strengthen children’s protection online
- getting government guidance on children’s screentime
- launching a petition for parents
- getting the worst online pornography made illegal
- getting our digital safety and female genital mutilation wording added to the UN Commission on the Status of Women conclusions in March
- winning an International Council of Women resolution on climate change
Recent resolutions cover trafficking of women, children and screens, water use, global education and FGM, climate, online harms and adult social care. Fairtrade and AI are underway.
There are lots of ways you can show your support. You, your organisation or your company can become a member. Come along to some of our events or simply click to show your support for our current resolutions.
