Dear Supporter,
With just under a month until the 2024 general election, the urgency to act has never been greater. Women’s voices must be heard, and we need your help to make that happen.
Time is running out to ensure gender equality is the key issue in this election.
At the Fawcett Society, we've dedicated years to fighting for policies that address the real needs of women across the UK. We need your support to keep this momentum going. By becoming a member today, you’ll gain access to our exclusive GE24 Campaigning Action Pack, a vital tool to help you campaign effectively and drive change during this critical period.
Here’s why your membership is crucial:
Reforming Childcare
A lack of affordable early childhood education and care (ECEC) drives the motherhood penalty in earnings, significantly contributing to the gender pay gap. Fawcett's key calls for substantial investment and reform aim to make childcare affordable, accessible, and high-quality. We are advocating for fair pay and training for the ECEC workforce, predominantly made up of women.
Workplaces that Work for Women
Women continue to face structural barriers to workforce participation. Our campaigns focus on making flexible work the default, tackling sexual harassment, and strengthening workers' rights. We are pushing for policies like flexible work by default, expanding gender pay gap reporting, and introducing pay transparency practices. A thriving economy relies on harnessing the skills and talents of women, and we need your support to achieve this.
Women’s Representation
Women have the right to see themselves represented at every level of government. Fawcett's key calls include ensuring women, especially those from underrepresented backgrounds, are selected in winnable seats, introducing quotas to increase women’s representation, and reviewing internal party sexual harassment and complaints policies. Our goal is to create a political environment where women can thrive and make lasting impact for us all.
The clock is ticking, and the stakes are high. By joining the Fawcett Society, you can ensure our collective strength shapes the future for women across the UK.
The time for action is now. Join us in making history and ensuring women’s voices are heard loud and clear in this election.
In solidarity,
Laura | Membership Manager
