50:50 Parliament Amplifying Muted Voices Campaign
Disruptor for Good Elizabeth Cameron and Council Candidate Carmen Hope Wood joined Carol Ann Whitehead to share their journey into politics and why women should stand.
Background:
March 2024 - 50:50 Parliament are delighted to announce that we have been successful in securing funding from Rosa Fund’s 'Voice from the Frontline' for a new project in the North of England. ‘Amplifying Muted Voices’ will be a series of events to empower underrepresented Black, Asian and minority ethnic female change makers. 50:50 will work with women who are unafraid to voice their vision for a better world and support them to have agency to transform their communities - discussing topics from devolution, Brexit, migration, rights and identity, in addition to aiding their personal development journey.
50:50 Trustee, Carol Ann Whitehead FRSA CMgr CCMI, will lead this project as Head of EDI, inspired by her years of work with Pankhurst campaigns and Manchester’s International Womens’ Day projects. Carol Ann is passionate about ensuring a broader range of voices within our elected bodies and will use these events to encourage women to RISE and aim for the Palace of Westminster or Council Chambers; to ROAR so their voice and lived experience can be heard and seen; and REPRESENT their community, cultural heritage and gender.
