The Women's Equality Party

WE are closing our doors but the change we made will live on. We would like to say a huge thank you to members and activists. Nothing we achieved could have been done without you. Our community and friendships will continue.

Although this is an ending, it is also a new beginning. We will fight on in new ways.

This is the end of the party, but not the end of the movement.

As WE close our doors, we need you to step up your activism and support our sister organisations. About Sistah Space: Sistah Space Space are a non profit organisation dedicated to supporting African and Caribbean women affected by both domestic abuse and sexual violence.

The charity was founded in 2015 by Ngozi Fulani, following the murder of Valerie Forde and her daughter Real-Jahzara by Valerie’s former partner. Multiple police failures contributed to their deaths. Sistah Space campaign for Valerie’s Law to make cultural competency training mandatory for agencies involved in domestic abuse cases.

Since the Labour Government took power, 109 children a day have been pulled into poverty by the two child limit. This week, Child Poverty Action Network released a new analysis laying bare the impact of the Government’s failure to act to end poverty.

Make no mistakes, spiralling poverty was created by political choices. This government can choose to end it.

It’s the first day of Black History Month. It’s time to reclaim, retell, and celebrate narratives.

Our reproductive rights are not up for grabs. The fight is not over until abortion is safe, free and legal everywhere.

4.3 million children are in poverty & yet Keir Starmer seems more worried about looking tough than he is about ending destitution. Ending the two child benefit cap would lift thousands of children out of poverty & stop women shouldering the costs of punishing policies. Starmer said he believes “No child should grow up in poverty” - WE think it’s time for him to put his money where his mouth is.

Abolishing the two child benefit cap could lift hundreds of thousands of people out of poverty right now.
