Story

The Fawcett Society is a leading UK charity campaigning for gender equality. Named after the formidable Millicent Fawcett, they continue her legacy of fighting sexism and gender inequality through hard-hitting research. Their national campaigns shape the debate and drive change.

Their "Smash Stereotypes" campaign looks at the pernicious effects of gender stereotypes in children. The Commission on Gender Stereotypes in Early Childhood report sets out how gender expectations significantly limit our children, causing problems such as lower self-esteem in girls and poorer reading skills in boys. The report finds that stereotypes contribute towards the mental health crisis among children and young people, are at the root of girls’ problems with body image and eating disorders, higher male suicide rates and violence against women and girls.

Funds raised for the Fawcett Society will help create impactful research to drive forward the debate on gender inequality; help ensure women's voices are heard and their needs met during the Coronavirus crisis and beyond; help us make the Equal Pay Act fit for purpose for women.
