Women's Voice Hastings

Women’s Voice is a not for profit Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), run by women for women in Hastings & St Leonards. Women’s Voice seeks to:

• empower all local women, regardless of age, race, ethnicity, sexuality or ability
• encourage respect and awareness amongst all cultures and beliefs
• promote gender equality

Our aims are:

• to provide a safe forum where women can meet and discuss issues which concern them
• to identify women’s needs locally and work to meet them
• to enable women to overcome barriers to achievement and success
• to organise women-focused events
• to challenge sexism and misogyny whenever we encounter it
• to provide advocacy and practical support and information for the women of Hastings and St. Leonards
