Inspiring Voices for Gender Equality 

We are the UK’s leading membership charity campaigning for gender equality and women’s rights. With a legacy stretching back to 1866, our team continues the work of suffragist Millicent Fawcett, delivering cutting-edge research, driving national campaigns, and shaping the policy agenda for a more equal future. 

Whether at conferences, panel discussions, or workplace sessions, our speakers bring deep expertise, practical insights and an evidence-based approach to every conversation. 


Shape What We Speak About 

• Equal pay & the gender pay gap 
• Gender health gap 
• Harassment at work- including sexual harassment 
• Workplaces that work for women 
• Intersectionality and inclusive policy 
• Leadership and representation in parliament  
• Combating misogyny 
• Bespoke sessions tailored to your audience or sector

Shape What Our Clients Say  

We invited Fawcett to deliver a lunch and learn for our staff on ‘tackling harassment at work’. I’d seen some of their training resources online and was aware of them as a leading gender equality charity, so thought they’d bring a well-informed voice to talking about the impact of workplace harassment. The talk Penny delivered was great – she covered all of the points we asked for and brought in so much evidence and case law to help underpin everything, which made the talk really rich and informative and really brought the voices of people impacted by sexual harassment into the talk. Penny’s presentation sparked some really interesting questions from attendees – I’m really hopeful that our staff would have got a lot from the talk, and it’s provided us with a useful resource we can go back to
