104 years since women were allowed to stand for election. Women do not need permission to stand up for others, so what’s stopping you? Stand! Be sisterly, assist, #AskHerToStand !
Jayne Sharratt has been elected as our newest councillor in Tunbridge Wells.
Rusthall is now the only all women represented ward on the council.

When you #AskHerToStand , don’t ask her to stand because you need your gender quotas met. Ask her to stand because she deserves to be there, because she’s talented, driven, smart.
An email from @RuthDavidsonMSP nudged me into getting involved, and an event in Westminster where Anne Jenkin spoke so passionately of the need to have more women represent our communities pushed me to take the next steps.

After years of encouraging women to stand for election with 50:50 Parliament, I’m proud to be able to submit a nomination to my local Heywood & Middleton Constituency for the upcoming The Labour Party parliamentary selection 🌹

Clare Reeve Keir Starmer I have just been expelled from the party for saying something positive about Caroline Lucas and Jenny Jones back in May.
Women are the Nation Builders in whose hands are the future generations.
I love serving Oxford City Council & our Nation.
Stand in your Light 💡 & honour yourself 👑 Your are Beautiful! You are Enough!

🗣️ #AskHerToStand because in #Wales we haven't had a POC woman elected to our #Senedd . We deserve a role model, someone with good morals who can be a voice for our communities.
🙏 Asking isn't the end of the story, you must support them too.
#OurWalesOurFuture
Today is #AskHerToStand day, because we need more women - especially LGBTQ+, disabled, ethnic minority,and working class women as elected representatives. I'm always happy to talk about and answer questions about standing for election and the role of a councillor. My DMs are open
Reflecting on the importance of women seeing themselves in our political leaders and how inspiring that can be. It’s why events like #AskHerToStand matter and keeping the ladder down for other women matters too. Thank you to all the amazing women who inspire and support me. ❤️
Today is #AskHerToStand day. We’re proud of our female patrons – Alicia Kearns MP Anne McIntosh Dehenna Davison MP Esther McVey Joy Morrissey MP Lia Nici Maria_Miller Mims Davies MP Nickie Aiken MP #TwoCities @RuthEdwardsMP Siobhan Baillie MP Theo Clarke MP and Tracey Crouch – but we want more!
🎊 HAPPY ANNIVERSARY 🎊
Today marks 104 years since women in the UK won the right to stand for election & become MPs 🗳️
But today only 35% of MPs are women
🫵 YOU can play a vital role in asking FAB women you know to stand for election!
Think of 3 women & #AskHerToStand today
👏Great piece by Adam Hawksbee!
Let's support people who want to stand for elected office and half those people should be women! #5050Parliament #AskHerToStand 50:50 Parliament

Today is #askhertostand day. Women are underrepresented in most democracies and the barriers we face are higher & different.
Lots of training available, open to all, inc from LabourWomensNetwork & 50:50 Parliament
The mutually supportive women you meet along the way are incredible.
🗣️TODAY marks 104 years since women won the right to stand for election in the UK
