Join us as we kick off our campaigning ahead of the next General Election.
This year the conference will focus on the key issues that matter to women over the next eighteen months, including childcare,flexible working, getting more women and more diverse voices into politics and fighting the culture of misogyny that underpins it all.
We are also planning sessions which support women to engage with the democratic process, spotlighting women and organisations who have had grassroots campaigning success and discussing how all women can make their voices heard at the next General Election.
