thumb The Fawcett Society is an organisation in the United Kingdom that campaigns for women's rights. The organisation's roots date back to 1866, when Millicent Garrett Fawcett dedicated her life to the peaceful campaign for women's suffrage. It is a charity registered with the Charity Commission and has a membership of around 3,000 alongside some high profile supporters such as Jenni Murray, Bill Bailey, Kate Mosse, Josie Long and Patrick Stewart. The organisation states that it campaigns on "women’s representation in politics and public life; pay, pensions and poverty; valuing caring work; and the treatment of women in the justice system". It uses "independent research and evidence to better understand key issues and generate media coverage, reports and briefings that both increase awareness and put pressure on powerful policy and decision makers to act." There are autonomous, self managed, regional Fawcett Society groups which work in their local areas, from East London to Bristol to safeguard the rights of women. The library and archives of the Society, formerly the Fawcett Library, are now part of the Women's Library at the British Library of Political and Economic Science, the main library of the London School of Economics and Political Science. ==Board of Trustees== The society's work is overseen by a board of Trustees. Trustees have included: * Natalie Bennett * Angela Mason * Lee Chalmers * Joanne Cash 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fawcett Society」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
