Subject and Association Descriptionhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women's_Equality_Party:
The Women's Equality Party (WEP) was a feminist political party in the United Kingdom that existed from 2015 to 2024. The idea was conceived by Catherine Mayer and Sandi Toksvig at the Women of the World Festival, when they concluded that there was a need for a party to campaign for gender equality to the benefit of all. The launch meeting was on 28 March 2015 under the title "The Women's Equality Party needs you. But probably not as much as you need the Women's Equality Party". The party's full policy was launched by its then-leader Sophie Walker at Conway Hall on 20 October 2015. In January 2020, Mandu Reid took over as the party's leader.
The party had one principal authority councillor on Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council, elected in 2024. It also had two seats on Congleton Town Council, where Kay Wesley served as the party's first Town Mayor, and had a seat on Stinsford Parish Council.
It was dissolved on 17 November 2024. Former members went on to form the Equality Party, the All In Party and the Alliance for Women's Equality [continuues].
