Our #Mission2028 campaign calls for urgent action to achieve a #GenderEqualParliament by 2028—the centenary of equal suffrage. While progress has been made, it’s still too slow. Women make up 51% of the population, yet remain underrepresented in Parliament. It’s time for change.🧵4/4

Over 100 years after women first gained the right to stand for election, men still outnumber women in the House of Commons. Today, 263 out of 650 MPs are women— 40%. Progress has been made, but more action is needed to achieve a #GenderEqualParliament 🧵2/4
