Believe in Her

BelieveInHer A campaign to empower women of Wigan

The campaign aims to:

Raise awareness of the issue of gender inequality and encourage people to take action
Create a platform to highlight role models in the community, males that are taking a stand against gender inequality
Inspire schools, colleges and other organisations to use this campaign to help address gender inequality issues

Women should be equal in our homes, our societies, our governments, and in our workplaces.

Act now!

Believe in her is supporting a behaviour change for gender equality. We want to encourage men and women to join the conversation; and bring down the boundaries and limitations that gender inequality puts up.

Join our efforts and be a part of the conversation!

#BelieveInHer commitment

Gender equality is not only a women’s issue, it affects everyone, men included.

It affects the young who’ll shape our future and the men who have hopes that their daughters will grow up in a world where they are safe and treated as equals.

It affects the men that want to show a sensitive side as much as it does the women who want to be strong.

For the campaign to succeed it requires a behaviour change needs your commitment.

Sign up to pledge and then share the message with your family, friends and colleagues.
