Our vision is a Wales free from gender discrimination. Our ambition is for everyone to have equal power over their own lives and society. We are an award-winning charity that empowers those with lived experience of inequality to use their own voice to bring about change.

Situation
We have three strategic priorities, as developed in partnership with our members, board and staff: • Diverse and equal leadership: there is still only one woman from the BAME community who has been elected to the Senedd in 20 years of devolution. • Strengthening and protecting women’s human rights in Wales: enshrining CEDAW in Welsh law. • Making Care Fair: Wales saw the biggest increase in childcare costs (8%) of the four nations which is disproportionately affecting women.
Solution
With our reach of 43,000 individuals and organisations we can use: • Our Diverse 5050 campaign & EPEV mentoring programme to empower women to put themselves forward for public life so they can design intersectional policy and law. • Our influencing and policy work to use devolved legislation to protect women in Wales from the impact of Westminster’s plans to reduce human rights. • Our campaign Make Care Fair to address the single biggest driver of female poverty and financial inequality.
