How do we make equality law in the UK fit for the 21st century? Create a fairer and more equal society by supporting our Law Review.
Our history

Millicent Fawcett began campaigning for women’s equality in 1866, and was instrumental in achieving first votes for women in 1918. At The Fawcett Society, we’ve continued her legacy of fighting sexism through impactful research and hard-hitting campaigns for over 150 years.

We are hosting a series of Gender Pay Gap reporting events to help businesses drive positive change. Watch video clips and download speaker slides from each event here.
Find a local group

We’re delighted to have a growing number of active and effective local women’s rights meet ups, who work in the local community to enforce change and campaign on our behalf. Their work is invaluable to Fawcett.
