Mum's Matter
Every year around 1,000 mothers die needlessly in childbirth and pregnancy. Global governments have already promised to tackle this shocking figure but progress is slow and the WI has teamed up with Oxfam to call on the UK government to take action now.
Please put your name to the campaign by signing the petition online or by printing off a copy to circulate to family and friends.
Act now for clear country of origin labelling
The WI has launched a new campaign for clear and mandatory country of origin labelling (COOL) for all meat products. European decision makers are currently debating proposals that could introduce this and all WI members are encouraged to make their voices heard.
- Write to your MEP and ask them to back the proposals in the European Parliament.
- Write to your MP and urge them to lobby the UK government to support clear and mandatory COOL.
- Tell us how you think labels could be improved, by completing this short survey.
