Women in Unite

Women have led our resistance. We've achieved so much but still we must keep fighting.

Women need strong trade unions, dedicated to equality. We deserve quality jobs. And we demand a society free of discrimination. 

As women, let's fight for this together.

By continually campaigning, organising and representing on the issues facing women, Unite through its members and activists is fighting for equal work, an equal voice, equal pay and constantly challenging inequality and discrimination both in the workplace and across society. 

Alongside campaigns such as Get ME Home Safely, Period dignity and Menopause awareness, Unite is part of a movement demanding:

• Equal pay and pensions justice

• The prevention of violence and harassment against women

• Strong maternity and pregnancy protection

• Flexible working as a default in all jobs

• Recognition and support for women's health and safety at work

• The end of precious and insecure work

By joining Unite you too can get involved in in campaigning for women’s equality.

Menopause at work | A key workplace issue

Unite is demanding employers understand their responsibilities and promote menopause friendly workplaces. Our aim is to raise awareness and support members who may be experiencing menopause symptoms through our resources and network of workplace reps. Employers should be willing to negotiate a good menopause agreement and we would encourage reps to use our model policy. Find our more on the Menopause at work | A key workplace issue campaign
