The resolution selection results are in!

This year 91,998 selections were cast. In the shortlisting selection stage the top two resolutions attracted a clear majority of selections from members (over 70%).

The NFWI Board of Trustees has agreed to put forward the top two resolutions to the Annual Meeting in June.

The wording of the resolutions is as follows:

1. Accessible public toilet facilities to promote dignity, health, and social inclusion

This resolution is a call for accessible, clean, free public toilets which are fundamental to inclusion and wellbeing, especially for women, older people, disabled individuals, parents and carers. It invites WI branches to take meaningful action—through advocacy, partnership, and community engagement—to support local authorities and civil society in reversing the closure trend and ensuring dignity for all.

2. Action on women’s homelessness

The NFWI echoes the calls of homelessness charities and urges all levels of government to take action to reduce women’s homelessness, reduce the number of women at risk of homelessness, and improve the quality of temporary accommodation. We call on WI members to support homelessness organisations in their communities and campaign to ensure that all women have a place they can safely call home.

What happens next?

WI Members now have the opportunity to learn more about the issues, and to discuss the resolutions in their WIs before deciding how their delegate should vote at the Annual Meeting.

Resources

The NFWI has prepared a range of resources on the shortlisted resolutions that you can use to aid your WI’s decision, including:

  • Detailed briefing on the resolutions.
  • PowerPoint presentations on the topic.
  • Quizzes to test your knowledge.
  • A Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) document about the resolutions process.
  • A discussion guide with ideas about how to discuss the resolution in your WI.

Members can download the resources on My WI.

Resolution webinar

On Friday 24 April, the NFWI is hosting a resolution webinar. This is an excellent opportunity for members to hear from an expert on the resolution topics and learn more before making a decision ahead of the virtual Annual Meeting.
