After 11 years CFWD will be closing on 31 August. Obviously, we're not giving up the fight for women's power and agency, but we're moving on to new things. Thank you for all your support, and let's hope we don't still need to be doing this in 11 years time! #endofanera #thankyou

Systems and culture have to change. Unless they do, we risk the 2018 centenary being a missed opportunity. Our system of politics is failing to be relevant to women’s lives, actively putting them off. fawcettsociety.org.uk/news/centenary… #StillMarching

The Equality Act protects us all from discrimination at work – and it needs defending. Ask your MP to put their names to #EUWithdrawalBill Amendments 287-290 tabled by @PeterGrantMP and 363-374 tabled by @thomasbrake. We must fight for equality together. @EHRC #FaceHerFuture

Disappointing: a Conservative MSP said "positive action, quotas, however you dress it up, is not merit" in response to whether women MSPs elected on all women shortlists had merit. Insulting way to talk about women who have talent and are simply being given a level playing field
