Promoting inclusive attitudes and practices. Publlc Beneflt Statement Trustees confirm they have had regard to Charity Commission guidance on public benefit. Our activities benefit women and girls across the UK by tackling structural gender inequality through policy, research, and campaigning. "This year has seen significant change and ￿8/ progress. We've launched a bold new strategy, produced vilal research and secured policy wins. The rolling back of our rights and the growing epidemic of misogyny is undeniable,. l am determined Fawcett is at the forefront of fighting back. I want to thank ourstaff. members, supporters and partners for their tir818ss commitment to the rights of wom8n and girfs." Hamet Harman, Chair Prepared by Excluserv Ltd The Fawcett Society Trustees, Annual Report 2024-25 Achlevemonts and Performance Overview 2024-25 was a year of transition. We launched a new five-year strategy centred on three strategic pillars, delivered major policy wins, and continued to amplify women's voices,. we also said farewell to our Chief Executive Officer, Jemima Olchawski, towards the end of the financial year. Strategy Development The new strategy was developed through a year-long consultation with staff, trustees, members, grassroots activists, partners and experts by experience. This process created some key priorities and principles for Fawcett. We fight for the rights ofwomen and girls. We are evidence-driven. We are campaigners. We are committed to creating a joyful, feminist movementthat works in partnership totackle misogyny and sexism in all forms, wherever it appears. We commit to a new chapter for Fawcet.. to become more forthright, more activist; we must confront the ro51ing back of our rights with member-led campaigns. We are a convener and supporter of our members, our local groups, our partners and the wider sector. We recognise that partnerships and convening is key to Fawcett's role and want to commit to supporting the women's sector and adjacent communities in everything we do. We are committed to being an inclusive organisation that examines all our work through an intersectional lens: this simply means that we understand women from different backgrounds will experience harms and discrimination In different ways and we want our campaigns and membership to reflect this reality. We are committed to being an anti-racist organisation. We have developed three key policy areas that will rationalise our work through. These policy areas are.. 1. R6volutlonlslng Work We envisage workplaces where women are valued equally and can thrive without structural barriers. In 202412025.. We secured key wins in the Employment Rights Bill.. commitments to flexible work, employer responsibilities to prevent harassment, and enhanced gender pay gap reporting. Our partnership with Totaljobs produced research showing flexible work retains women returning after having children. We supported a coalition calling for reform of Shared parental leave, backed by new polling and engagement with MPS. Our comparative report, "Transforming Early Childhood Education & Care,, provided a blueprint for reform based on global best practice, sparking significant debate and media engagement. Prepared by Excluserv Ltd The Fawcett Society Trustees, Annual Report 2024-25 We met with the Secretary of State for Education and the Minister for Women and Equalities to share our campaign asks and evidence around the need for affordable childcare and the urgent need to close the widening gender pay gap. Our Equal Pay Day campaign in November 2024 gained wide media traction, with a social media reach of over 1.2 million. We highlighted that 66 % of the gender pay gap cannot be explained by job type or education,. we called for stronger legal enforcement. We launched a research project with the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) to put a spotlight on the experiences of women working in architecture., a sector with significant challenges in reaching gender equity in work. Our Chief ExecLJtive gave evidence to the Public Bills Committee on the Employment Rights Bill, highlighting our calls for stronger provisions on flexible working and preventing sexual harassment. 2) Creating Femlnist Al We must ensure that Al is d8veloped and used in ways that do not entrench gender bias or cause harm to women and girls, and we campaign for gender-aware approaches to Al design and governance. In 202412025 We engaged policymakers on Al policy that embeds equality and transparency from the outset. Initial outputs have influenced draft workplace Al guidelines being considered by government. We bought together an Al Experts by Experience Working Group. We hosted a panel on Feminist Al at our 2025 Conference, bringing together experts from Al and technological advancement to discuss its interplay with gender and bias. 3) Demandlng Safety and Dlgnlty In Publlc Servlces We want all public services and public spaces to protect and represent all women. We know too many are let down by public services and public sep4ants. We need representative, inclusive and supportive public services that are designed for women and girls. In 2024125.. Conducted and published extensive research "Public Harms" into the harms caused by policy, healthcare and education systems to Black and minoritised women. This report identified the systemic patterns that affected women and put forward a series of ambitious government-focussed recommendations. This project was in partnership with Black Equity Organisation. We secured commitment from Labour, Liberal Democrats. Greens and the SNP in the build up to the General Election in 2024 to make misogyny a hate crime as key tool to tacking this epidemic with the resources and cross-departmental commitment it needs. On International Woman's Day, Fawcett conducted. research with MPS to demonstrate that challenges faced by female MPS. It showcased the urgent need for modernisation of the Commons to create a modern working culture that attracts and relains talented women. Worked with Democracy Club to put a spotlight on the representation and experiences of women in local government,. we produced data in the build-up to the Local Elections to demonstrate how local governmenl candidate selection and representation lags behind Westminster. Launched a parliamentary Caucus to bring together women MPS to discuss how toensure a feminist approach to policymaking, and that cross-party MPS can support one another,. particularly important given the number of new female MPS navigating the old infrastructure and practices within Parliament. Prepared by Excluserv Ltd The Fawcett Society Trustees, Annual Report 2024-25 We worked Benenden Health to talk to women negatively affected by unfair and ineffective healthcare, demonstrating th8 delays in diagnosis and effective support due to the systemic gender health gap in the UK. Events We continued to hold events to bring together partners, policymakers, members and local groups to discuss topical issues and Fawcett research. 2024 April= Launch of Transforming Early Childhood Education and Care: Sharing International Leamings Report Launch at Hogan Lovells, with a panel including Munira Wilson MP and Kids Chief Executs've, Katie Ghose.

We strive to be member-led and to ensure our members, expertise and experiences are driving our research, campaigns and our Strategy. We commit to continue to strengthen the relationship be￿een the nationa organisation and our members. Local Groups There are 12 affiliated local groups, each playing a vital role in advancing gender equality. These groups campaign on both local issues that affect women and girls in their communities and support Fawcett's national policy objectives. For example.. Fawcett Milton Keynes has taken the lead in exploring how artificial intelligence may entrench or deepen gender inequalities, linking local concerns to emerging national debates. Fawcett East London group holds regular public events, covering topics from the gender pay gap to public speaking, and awareness-raising on gynaecological health. They spearheaded the End Salary History campaign that saw employers commit to stop asking for previous salary information.

Prepared by Excluserv Ltd The Fawcett Society Trustees, Annual Report 2024-25 Brand and Communications The new brand was successfully launched in February 2025 at our annual conference and has since been embedded across all communications.
