Fawcett is the UK campaign for equality between women and men and we’ve been challenging people to stand up for feminism by donning our fabulous T-shirt and declaring themselves a feminist.Kate Jackson, Sophie Ellis Bextor, Tracey Emin, Sarah Waters, Ken Livingstone and countless others have spoken out for equality. Check out the pictures here and visit our website to read quotes from all the lovely people who have risen to the Fawcett Feminist Challenge. Find out why they are a feminist, and what it means to them.
But what do we campaign against, you may ask? Well, here's some food for thought:
2 women a week are killed by a current or former partner
1 in 4 women experience rape or attempted rape in their lifetime
On average women get just 54 pence for every £1 of income received by men
96% of executive directors of the UK's top 100 companies are men
Just 20% of MPs are women
We need your help to stand up for feminism! You can get a FREE t-shirt by supporting Fawcett from as little as £3 a month and helping us continue to fight for equality between women and men. Find out how here
