BWV held a ‘Women’s Question Time’ with 8 of the Mayoral Candidates on the 31st October 2012. It gave the women of Bristol, the opportunity to ask the future Mayor ‘what will they do for us?’

Will they help stop cuts in women’s employment? Will they work towards protecting women from violence and abuse? Will they promote women’s health? Will they support women with caring responsibilities? And how will they go about it?

What have they done for Women?

BWV has teamed up with Bristol Fawcett Society who have been working for some months on the Counting Women’s In Campaign aimed at working to ensure that both the new Mayor and the new Police Crime Commissioner are putting women’s issues at the forefront of their future planning for Bristol and that candidates are held accountable in the future.
