Women Liberal Democrats

Campaigning for Women inside and outside the Liberal Democrats

Women Liberal Democrats began in 1887 as the Women's Liberal Federation. We are a membership organisation open to all Party members, both women and men. Our Constitution pledges us to eliminate all inequality based upon gender.

Why should you join the Women Liberal Democrats?

Because women still do not have an equal voice in Parliament, in our local Councils, nor in the Liberal Democrat Party itself. We are changing this by:

  • Organising seminars, fringe meetings, workshops and training sessions

  • Encouraging women to become and remain active members of the party

  • Supporting women candidates at national and local level

  • Putting forward Policy Motions to Conference

  • Campaigning on issues which affect women's lives
