Democracy works best when everyone is represented. But too many women - especially Black and global majority women, disabled women, and those on low incomes - still face barriers to standing.
50:50’s #SignUpToStand is breaking them down. But we need your support now.

“I had no idea what it meant to be a councillor or what I had to do. All I knew was that I wanted to give back. But thanks to the support of 50:50 I took that step sooner and with confidence. It was their encouragement and training that gave me the courage to put myself forward.” Shazna, Councillor

Build a better democracy. One woman at a time. – Big Give

Our democracy is unbalanced: only 41% of MPs and 38% of councillors are women. 50:50’s #SignUpToStand programme helps women run for political office. No party funding, no billionaire backers - just…
