9 UK Women's Rights Organizations, to Watch, in 2018

If, but for no other reason than the sign in this Tweet, I just had to post this.

From reading through all 9 organizations, I learned of the "Fawcett" Organization (not Fatah); which a statue is being placed in Parliment Square to commemorate 150 years of the "Fawcett" efforts.

Eherecare the American statues commemorating women?

Stating:

We may only be a few weeks into 2018 but, so far, this year feels like things are going to be different for women. They have to.

The first day of January came with the announcement of Times UP, spearheaded by some of Hollywood's biggest names. Shortly afterwards, the usually glitzy and tongue-in-cheek Golden Globes came around but this time women wore black in protest of sexual harassment and assault in Hollywood. Instead of the usual 'Who are you wearing?', showbiz reporters asked about their thoughts on the movement.

Just a week later, one of the BBC's most respected reporters resigned over being paid much less than her male counterparts. As well as this, more brave women and men have come forward with allegations in fields from gymnastics to fashion.

In the UK, all this is going on against the backdrop of an important milestone: 100 years since women were given the right to vote. Well some women, it was 1928 before the right was rolled out to all women over 18, whether they were married or not.
