Fawcett Society

Where there's an inequality gap between women and men the Fawcett Society is working to close it.

Their roots stretch back to 1866, when Millicent Fawcett began her lifetime's work leading the peaceful campaign for women's votes.

 
 
 
Power in our country is not equally shared between men and women. Men make up more than 70% of local councillors and 80% of MPs. The huge majority of judges are men and so are 96% of executive directors in the UK's top companies. 
 
 
Fawcett - it's a rip off

The average woman working full time is paid 17% less an hour than a man and 38% less if her job is part time.
