What the charity does

Women are under-represented on most elected bodies. 50:50 is a charity set up to build a better democracy by helping women progress in politics. We are an intersectional campaign, working with all the political parties to inspire, inform and support a diverse range of women from across the country. Our #AskHerToStand and #SignUpToStand programmes help women take the next step towards selection.
