“What About Women?” free event – Fawcett – 27th April 2010
The Fawcett Society and LSE present What About Women? a pre election debate and Q & A with the leading front bench women from each of the main political parties
Date: Tuesday 27 April 2010 *SOLD OUT*
Time: 8-9.30pm
Venue: Old Theatre, Old Building
Speakers: Lynne Featherstone, Harriet Harman, Theresa May
Chair: Ceri Goddard
In the style of the Leaders’ debate, each candidate will outline what their party’s policies will mean for women and face questions from a 400+ audience made up of leading campaigners, commentators, academics, policy experts and the general public.
Women’s votes will determine the result of this closely fought election and all the parties have mounted a media charm offensive to win their support. But is there any policy substance behind their spin?
The Leaders’ debates are focussing on domestic affairs, international affairs and the economy. Fawcett and the What About Women campaign will be asking candidates what their plans – on everything from the deficit to crime – will mean for women’s lives and women’s equality.
