Strange to think that I am the 642nd woman to have been elected to @ukparliament.parliament.uk

#CentenaryAction are campaigning for a #GenderEqualParliament

Let's make it happen! #Mission2028

Turns out I am the 682nd woman to have been elected to UK Parliament.

I fully support @CentenaryAction's work to achieve a #GenderEqualParliament by 2028.

Let's do it! #Mission2028

Since 1918 at every general election more men have been elected than women. @CentenaryAction's graph shows that whilst progress has been made & we now have 263 women MPs we still need 62 more for a #GenderEqualParliament #AskHerToStand

Excited to be in a sunny Westminster for parliamentary launch of @centenaryaction #Mission2028 campaign for a #GenderEqualParliament by 2028.

On my way to @centenaryaction.bsky.social event in @houseofcommons.parliament.uk for the parliamentary launch of #Mission2028 campaign. Looking forward to hearing from new women MPs & supporting #GenderEqualParliament by 2028. @feministgreens.bsky.social 💚

It was brilliant to join the parliamentary launch of Centenary Action’s #Mission2028 campaign and hear from new women MPs from across the House of Commons supporting the push for a #GenderEqualParliament by 2028—which will require the largest-ever proportional increase of women MPs.

Celebrating the number of women elected to Parliament last year, convener of @centenaryaction.bsky.social, @helenpankhurst.bsky.social opens their Mission 2028 Parliamentary Reception this afternoon - campaigning for a #GenderEqualParliament by 2028.

On my way to the Parliamentary launch of the Centenary Action Group’s #mission2028 campaign. Our new research reveals a historic challenge: to achieve a #GenderEqualParliament by the centenary of equal suffrage in 2028, the largest ever proportional increase in women MPs is needed.

Young women are key to the future of our politics but recent research shows a worrying trend of growing disengagement. @youngwomenstrust.bsky.social 2024 survey on voting patterns found that young women were less likely to vote than young men.

Today we are Centenary Action’s #Mission2028 campaign launch 💥

Hosted by Karin Smyth MP - we are really looking forward to hearing from new women MPs & supporting the push for a #GenderEqualParliament by 2028.

It's a huge challenge and when we succeed it will create better outcomes, for everyone.

Women make up 51% of the population, but only 40% of MPs. Equal representation is within reach, but it requires concerted efforts from political parties, parliament, and government.

Our #Mission2028 campaign calls for urgent action to achieve a #GenderEqualParliament by 2028—the centenary of equal suffrage. While progress has been made, it’s still too slow. Women make up 51% of the population, yet remain underrepresented in Parliament. It’s time for change.🧵4/4

Sandi Toksvig made us all laugh, pointing out that this suffragette poster is printed on a tea towel... A great evening spent with supporters of Centenary Action, run by the fantastic @helenpankhurst.bsky.social

Mission: #GenderEqualParliament by 2028.

This #IWD2025, we’re celebrating women MPs! Since women could first stand, 693 have been elected. Today, 263 women MPs make up 40% of the chamber—a historic feat, but not yet equal. Let’s inspire young women to see politics is for them & push for a #GenderEqualParliament by 2028!

107 years ago the first women gained the right to vote. Since 1918 at every general election more men have been elected than women. Whilst progress has been made & we now have 263 women MPs we still need 62 more for a #GenderEqualParliament

61% of girls surveyed in Girlguiding's Girls’ Attitudes Survey identified politics as a place where they experience or witness sexism. This needs to change so that girls see politics as a place for them.
March 4, 2025 at 10:58 AM
Recent research from Girls Friendly Society found that girls are being held back by gender stereotypes from a young age, with 71% of girls having been told they can't do something because they are a girl.

“Women need to get involved in politics!” For the @libdems.org.uk, South Devon MP @carolinevoadenmp.bsky.social tells the @centenaryaction.bsky.social Parliamentary reception about her story of becoming an elected MP. She says the Lib Dems want to see a #GenderEqualParliament
January 7, 2025 at 3:24 PM
The @youngwomenstrust.bsky.social research found that the top reasons young women didn’t vote in the general election were “I didn’t know who to vote for” and “I’m not interested in politics.” How can we ensure young women feel informed, engaged, and represented in politics? #GenderEqualParliament

Beautiful morning to be heading to Westminster for the Parliamentary launch of Centenary Action’s #Mission2028 for a #GenderEqualParliament

Today, 40% of MPs are women. Progress? Yes. Equality? Not yet! We want to see a #GenderEqualParliament by 2028 - the centenary of equal franchise - because democracy works best when it represents everyone. 2/3

Pleased to share new research from @chrisbutlerpol.bsky.social on #GE2024 candidate selection. A record number of female MPs were elected, but progress toward a #GenderEqualParliament still too slow. A record jump in women elected is needed next time.

Over 100 years after women first gained the right to stand for election, men still outnumber women in the House of Commons. Today, 263 out of 650 MPs are women— 40%. Progress has been made, but more action is needed to achieve a #GenderEqualParliament 🧵2/4
