A new survey to find out today’s views on gender equality and women’s rights has been launched by gender equality charity, the Fawcett Society, and leadership and coaching agency Aspire.

The survey seeks to assess what equality issues are important to women and men today and to pick out areas where action is needed. Its launch comes at a time when there is increasing focus on women’s equality and their role in society.

Belinda Phipps, Chair of the Fawcett Society says, “Many people have strong views about gender equality and what feminism is or should be.

“There are a range of possible actions that could be taken to reduce the inequity between men and women. Our survey will find out where there is agreement on what should be done, if anything, and what the consequences of that action might be for society.”

“2015 is being seen as a ‘landmark’ year for progressing gender equality,” says Dr Samanther Collins, founder and CEO of Aspire. “As the UN transitions from Millennium Development Goals to the post 2015 Sustainable Development Agenda, the time is ripe to re-shape the discourse surrounding women’s rights and accelerate the progression of gender equality.”

Everyone who takes part will get the chance to win £1000 voucher for Aspire events, which include leadership coaching and training programmes, and Fawcett Society T shirts.

The survey is available here until midnight on Monday, 30 March 2015. Make sure you have your say.
