So delighted to see Care International respond so positively to our motion on global women's rights 🧡

CARE International UK @careintuk.bsky.social · 14d

Women’s rights are under attack worldwide & the UK must respond. Yesterday the @libdems.org.uk did.

Championed by @libdemwomen.bsky.social & @monicaharding.bsky.social, we welcome their pledge to put women & girls at the heart of the UK’s global role, dedicating 20% of aid to gender equality.

We, the Liberal Democrats only official women's group, wholeheartedly stand by the amazing Woman that Cllr Chris Northwood is.

She is an inspiration to many within the party with her dedication to the party and her constituents.

She is a very deserving winner.

Liberal Democrats @libdems.org.uk · 14d

The Express asked us about awarding the Patsy Carlton Prize to Cllr Chris Northwood. We responded:

"This prize acknowledged an exceptional woman in Cllr Chris Northwood. The message it sends to women members and voters is that the Liberal Democrats honour and value all of our women members."
