About Us
What does Bristol Fawcett do?
Bristol Fawcett members are active in the local campaign for gender equality. We support the aims of the Fawcett Society and work at a local level to:- Raise awareness of Fawcett and the work that Fawcett does
- Campaign and lobby to improve policy and services for
women and girls
- Bring an informed gender equality perspective to local
decision making bodies
Bristol Fawcett is an activist group, whose members seek not
primarily to talk about feminism but to ‘do’
feminism and
make a difference - however small - to awareness, policy and practice
in the local area. We meet monthly and between meetings our members
work on current campaigns and in subgroups. Members give their time,
their ideas, and their skills, to projects and events that we
undertake.
We recognise that women
have different
skills and different amounts of time available for this work. By being
part of a group, everything you do, big or small, can make a
difference. If you aren't able to be a regular active member
that's fine! Keep in touch with us by visiting this website,
joining our Facebook group and following us on Twitter.
