Right at the end:
In Parliament, the Women and Equalities Select Committee engages with a range of organisations to inform parliament and government’s thinking.
And there are some great forums and campaign groups out there.
But I want to make sure we hear from women in every community, so we are undertaking a piece of work to ensure female voices are better heard by policy makers.
Every woman in the UK should feel able to raise the issues which concern them, and know that we are taking them seriously and are responding to those issues. And to find the right solutions to the complex policy challenges we face, we need to be drawing on everyone’s expertise – no one has a better insight into tricky gender equality issues than the women who are dealing with them every day.
Our message to women is this: you will set our agenda.
