I read on Mumsnet last month that Emma Nicholson was setting up a non-party women’s group, so I wrote and asked to join it. The Baroness welcomed me -- as I think she has welcomed all women who want to support women's and children's rights.
Today she sent out a friendly message, with a report on the progress made this year:
Dear colleague and friend,
I wish you a very Happy Christmas and wonderful New Year ahead. We have a common cause in our establishing the empowerment of women and in confirming the Rights of the Child as framed in the Children Act 1989.
It has been a very busy year despite the pandemic and I attach our achievements so far with more in the pipeline. I am also pulling together a Group of like-minded Parliamentary colleagues from all benches of both Houses which will be a non-party parliamentary campaign group, to encourage more activity in 2021.
It is a pleasure to work with you and I look forward immensely to our next steps together.
I'm looking forward to that too!
