Our Campaigns
Our campaigns tackle issues that matter to women in their communities. From equal pay to climate change, mental health and violence against women, over the past 100 years we have embraced a diverse set of challenges. The WI has brought about real change - and we are just getting started. You will be able to find resources on each campaign below.
Thinking Differently: Autistic and ADHD Women & Girls
Our campaign seeks to raise awareness of Autism and ADHD in women and girls and to take action to improve the diagnosis process.

5 Minutes that Matter
Our campaign seeks to raise awareness of the importance of attending routine cervical screenings, and support more women to make an informed decision about whether or not to take up their invitations. It is estimated that the test currently prevents 70% of cervical cancer deaths. However, this figure could be 83% if all eligible women attended. Cervical screening is a choice, and attendance is currently at a 21-year low.

Dental Health Matters
The Dental Health Matters campaign was voted for by members at the WI Annual Meeting on 5th June 2024. Our members are concerned about the shortage of NHS dentists, dentist surgeries, and new patient spaces. This shortage, combined with the cost of living crisis, has led to the rise of ‘DIY Dentistry’ where people are suffering to the point of extracting their own teeth.

See the Signs - Ovarian Cancer
Our campaign seeks to raise awareness of the subtle signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer to help ensure that more women are diagnosed earlier.
