Our mission is a #GenderEqualParliament by 2028
Although women constitute 51% of the population, they account for only 40% of MPs. Achieving equal representation is within reach, but it requires concerted efforts from political parties, Parliament, and government.
We are campaigning to address and dismantle the barriers that hinder women’s participation, selection, and retention in politics.
“Great is the work that remains to be accomplished.” – Sylvia Pankhurst
