We are an inclusive, intersectional campaign set up to empower women with our #AskHerToStand and #SignUpToStand programmes.When women click #SignUpToStand we: – send them an interactive Personal Political Profile – allocate them a 50:50 Buddy – invite them to weekly party specific Bite Size meetings – and offer bespoke support to women from diverse groups. In the corridors of power, men still outnumber women by 2:1. We invite everyone, men and women, to support our work and join our mailing list at www.5050Parliament.co.uk
