FEMINIST GROUP SUPPORTS ETHNIC MINORITY WOMEN

The Fawcett Society recently launched a campaign to erase the “dual invisibility” of ethnic minority women. The society staes: “The needs and experiences of ethnic minority women have long been overlooked in public policy leading to persistent disadvantage in all areas of ethnic minority women’s lives.”

The feminist group dates back to 1866, when feminist Millicent Fawcett began her lifetime's work leading the campaign for women's votes. Nowadays the society aims to “close the gap between women and men”.
