I believe that Britain needs change, not more of the same.

Women
We want to give women real choice over their own lives - something that remains elusive for too many women in 21st century Britain.
We will focus on five main areas:
- Women in the workplace
- Vulnerable women
- Women in their communities
- Women and ethnicity
- Women in international development
Within these areas, we have already announced a number of major policies, including:
- Measures to tackle the gender pay gap, including stronger legislation to prevent employers discriminating and better careers guidance for young women
- The extension of the right to request flexible working to all parents with children under the age of 18
- The introduction of a new system of flexible parental leave, which will give parents a year of shared parental leave after they have a baby
- A new strategy to tackle violence against women, including a greater focus on preventative work in schools, better training for police and front-line professionals and new rape crisis centres
A Conservative Government will follow a joined-up, common sense approach to women’s issues and make our society fairer for everybody. |
