About GM4Women2028
Inspired by the legacy of Emmeline Pankhurst, we're rooted in activism and driven by a vision of equality for all women and girls.
We're bold, courageous, resilient and unafraid to challenge the status quo as we work to create a fairer, more inclusive and just society. Read about our values.
Together, we stand as advocates for change, determined to build a future where gender equality is a reality.
We report
Each year, we produce the Pankhurst-Fawcett Scorecard which collects data on the lived experiences of women and girls across Greater Manchester's ten boroughs. This data allows us to hold gender equality initiatives to account.
Our Pankhurst-Fawcett Scorecard acts as both a resource and a call to action, enabling us to track progress and monitor changes towards a more equitable future for all.
We facilitate
We're proud to co-facilitate the Greater Manchester Women and Girls' Equality Panel with The Pankhurst Trust.
Launched by the Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA), this panel unites diverse women from across the region to address gender equality issues, amplify voices, influence policy and drive change, ensuring that the needs of women and girls in Greater Manchester are heard and acted upon.
We're led by
GM4Women2028 is a volunteer-led initiative driven by a team of passionate women who contribute their unique skills and expertise to advance gender equity.
Convened by Helen Pankhurst CBE – granddaughter of Sylvia and great granddaughter of Emmeline Pankhurst – GM4Women2028 continues the Pankhurst legacy of advocating for gender equality and social justice.
