Peace, Human Security and Dignity Week
Gender equity and justice: accelerating the pace of change
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
The UK has a rich history of advancing women’s rights.
In 1918, the Representation of the People Act granted voting rights to women over 30, with equal suffrage achieved in 1928. From the Equal Pay Act of 1970 to the Equality Act of 2010, trailblazing women have been at the forefront of building collective movements for progress and justice.
But there remain stubborn challenges and barriers to women’s full economic, legal and social empowerment.
