I'm joining members of Fawcett staff, trustees and fellow supporters, all coming together to make a stand for gender equality. 

Now is the time to make a strong stand. As Fawcett's most recent research has once again shown, the Government is not taking women’s equality seriously enough. Current austerity measures will hit women hardest and with only 1 in 5 MPs a woman, our voices just aren’t being heard where and when it matters.

The Fawcett Society needs to help get women an equal place at the decision making table and ensure that the progress women have made towards equality is not reversed by economic policies that disadvantage women.Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
