Empowering all women to achieve a fair and inclusive society
Change starts at the very foundation of society. With legislation. With you.
The National Council of Women of Great Britain (NCWGB) researches where change is most needed, and challenges Government at the highest level. We present valid, evidence-based proposals which represent women’s views and concerns. We debate, educate, inform and influence reform.
Our diverse membership reflects that we care about the lives of all women. Members come from all walks of life and from every generation. Aged 18 to 98, we come together through shared interests to learn, collaborate, and celebrate our differences.
Our intergenerational work – a valued aspect of membership – brings women together to amplify their individual voices.
Empowering women across the world
We connect and collaborate with other organisations that share our purpose and goals. Together we are so much stronger. We have a voice and we will be heard.
We tackle issues affecting women across the globe through our affiliation to the International Council of Women. This means more opportunities to make our voice heard at the international and European associations of other National Councils of Women.
We have Special Consultative Status at the United Nations: the only UK organisation to enjoy this.
Connect
We bring together women of all ages and backgrounds to learn and debate different perspectives.
Challenge
We make representations to Government and the powers that be through our resolutions and other activities.
Change
We work to change and improve the lives of everyone.
“For more than 120 years, NCW has campaigned tirelessly on a range of women’s issues, including the right to vote, the creation of a women’s police force, the end to violence against women and girls worldwide, and an improved quality of life for all.”
Barbara Maddison, Honorary Vice-President
