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

Tying in with these themes is a film season, debates and an art exhibition.
