 Leadership & Gender in Local Government in England: Part 2
has now been published. In it,
we examine which local councils are led by women, and find out whether or not the situation has improved since our last report
on the 2006/7 year. Are there now more women leaders or fewer? Are there more women leaders in the north or the south? Which
local authority has women as leader, deputy leader and chief executive, and in how many are all these posts held by men? You
can find out all this and more either by downloading the Executive Summary, or by ordering the full report from our Publications page.

| Women come together at CFWD to make a difference |
Some images from our
first year's activity ... Since our launch in March 2007, we have run events and conferences, published
reports, produced our booklet 'Women Make a Difference!' (distributed to schools across the North of England), and
worked with other organisations including the Fawcett Society, the Electoral Reform Society and Unlock Democracy on projects
such as '2008 Year of Women & the Vote'. We will shortly be publishing a report and resource pack on the 2008
Local Elections, and developing our 'Democracy Debate' project further and we will also be continuing to work collectively
with others to increase and improve both the representation of women, and women's ability to access to the democratic
and decision-making processes. |

 Want to know where the women are?
Do you want to know where the UK stands in
the international 'league table' of women's representation, or how many women MPs there have been in your region
and who they were? Or are you interested in how well (or badly) women are represented in other areas of public life, or in
the professions? Our Factsheets will tell you all this and more, and we add new ones every week. If there's an area you'd like us to produce a Factsheet
for, you can let us know by emailing us.
