FREE ONLINE EVENT: Monday 5th October | 7pm – 8.30pm

Speakers: Virginia Crosbie, Conservative MP for Ynys Môn; Fleur Butler, National Chairman, Conservative Women’s Organisation; Sam Smethers, Chief Executive, The Fawcett Society

Equal Power is a Fawcett Society led campaign to get more women in all of our diversity into politics. We’re working to build a network of women across the political parties to really shift the dial on women’s representation. Virginia Crosbie, MP for Ynys Môn, Fleur Butler, CWO Chairman and Sam Smethers, Chief Executive of The Fawcett Society will be opening the event and reflecting on why representation matters and what you can achieve in politics. For the main body of the session, two of our partner charities will be running taster Equal Power trainings – The Parliament Project will be helping Conservative women explore how to articulate why they are standing for selection and election and Glitch will be sharing some of their knowledge around staying safe online as a politically active woman. This event is co-hosted with Women2Win and CWO.
