The Government Equalities Office has met with a range of representatives from political parties to consider what could help to increase the number of women standing for elected office. As part of the response to this the Centenary Fund supported an Ask Her to Stand event in London. 350 women who are interested in standing for elected office heard from women politicians from the main parties and took part in workshops providing practical advice on getting into politics and public life.<\/p>

In addition, the Government Equalities Office has been funding projects through the Government\u2019s £5m Suffrage Centenary Fund that help deliver our aim to increase women\u2019s participation in politics.<\/p>
