In politics, if you want anything said, ask a man, if you want anything done, ask a woman.
Margaret Thatcher
Introducing The CWO
The CWO has been supporting women into public life since 1919. As the oldest affiliated female political organisation in the world our aims are:
- To encourage women to join the Conservative Party and progress within the voluntary party;
- To stand for elected office as Councillors, Police Crime Commissioners, Mayors, Parliamentary Candidates and all elected roles in the Conservative Party, supporting women with their campaigns;
- To listen to and develop policies that are in the interests of women.
Join or Support the CWO
All members (men and women) of the Party can be members of the CWO as long as they agree to our aim: “To support more women into public life.”
If you are not a member of the Party but are still interested in the work of the CWO then please join as a “Friend of the CWO.” This limits access to certain elements such as the CWO Development training but other events such as Parliamentary Forums and events are open to all.
Join UsWe are free to all Conservative Party members but we need your generous support to develop our CWO women to success in political life.
The CWO is a self-funding organisation run mainly by volunteers. We do not receive money from the Conservative Party. Please give what you can afford, donations start at £10 . If you wish to give over £500 please get in touch cwo@conservativewomen.uk
