who we are
Challenging Inequality
Issues include women's healthcare, gender imbalance in the government and workplace, difficulties in finding quality and affordable childcare, which tends to impact women most and combating violence against women and girls. We also aim to promote STEM learning for girls in our city and look at real issues like period poverty.
Our reach
Making Change Happen
We are activists, fully prepared to protest when required, and just now, in Portsmouth, there is plenty to protest about.
We believe that every woman has the right to live a life free from violence, sexism, misogyny, patriarchy, racism, Islamophobia, Anti-Semitism, homophobia, transphobia, oppression and discrimination. We aim to provide support, resources, and advocacy for women in our community.
People who care
Our Members
Some of our team originates from the "Ripper and Co Protest Group" - a group of people from across the city and indeed countrywide horrified that a cocktail bar/restaurant could open in our city, exploiting the brutal deaths of women in the name of profit. We did succeed in getting some aspects of this business changed - but it was not enough. We did not have a website then to promote our cause. Now we do.
for everyone
Politically Neutral
We are non-political, though some of us are affiliated with political parties. We work with everyone to improve the lives of Women and Girls across our city and are guided by those around us, listening to their views.
We are a friendly and informal group of women and always welcome new members.
