Nawo recently co-hosted a meeting with Joan Ruddock MP near Parliament Square attended by representatives of key women's organisations and female parliamentarians. The objective of this meeting was to highlight the key issues shared among women's groups and to raise these issues within government. What came out of this discussion was an idea to form a coalition of women's groups called UK Women's Voices. This initiative is currently in the planning stages and we would like to invite all of our members to participate by firstly letting us know approximately how many women your respective organisation represents. From the meeting we learned that numbers matter and in order for the women's sector to have a stronger voice in government, we would like to get an idea of just how many women we collectively represent.
