Election 2010 - What About Women?
In the lead-up to the 2010 election, Fawcett asked each of the political parties what about women?

In the run up to the election Fawcett brought together over 40 organisations and thousands of individual voters to ask all the political parties What About Women?
All the main parties have been courting the "women's vote" but what would their policies mean for women's everyday lives and women's equality? We would like answers.
In the major debates which dominate the election such as the economy, public services, crime, political reform and the family we hardly ever hear discussion on how parties’ proposals would impact on women. We want to change that.
To do this we have asked all the main parties to answer some key questions about women and their policies.
See below for their answers!
