Learn more about Fawcett Society

The Fawcett Society, a U.K. charity, is committed to addressing gender inequality by focusing on critical areas. They strive to tackle the 11% gender pay gap, advocating for reforms like a supportive childcare system and restrictions on salary history questions. Additionally, the society works towards achieving equal power and representation for women, emphasising the stark underrepresentation of women, predominantly Black and minority women, in top U.K. jobs. They address harmful gender stereotypes, collaborating with education authorities and companies to bring about positive changes. Lastly, the society campaigns to increase female participation in politics, emphasising the need for diversity in political roles where only 34% of MPs and 35% of councillors are women.

How they support: Tackling gender pay gaps

The Fawcett Society is actively addressing the gender pay gap as a key priority. With a focus on modernising laws over 50 years after the Equal Pay Act, the organisation has launched the 'Right to Know' campaign to raise awareness and advocate for change. They encourage support through an online petition to make a tangible impact. Highlighting 2020 statistics on gender pay gaps, the Fawcett Society underscores that 40% of people are unaware of women's right to equal pay for equal work, only 36% know about the right to inquire about male colleagues' salaries in cases of suspected unequal pay, and merely 24% report open salary discussions in the workplace. Notably, 60% of women either lack knowledge of their male colleagues' earnings or believe they earn less than men in similar roles. Through these efforts, the Fawcett Society is actively working to close the gender pay gap and promote pay equity.
