womenfor

Womenfor is a political party in the United Kingdom, founded in 2019 by Caroline Lucas and others. The party's name is a portmanteau of "women" and "for", reflecting its focus on women's rights and gender equality. Womenfor is a member of the Alliance for Women's Rights, a coalition of feminist organizations and political parties.

The party's platform includes a commitment to gender equality, reproductive rights, and the empowerment of women. It advocates for policies such as free period products, equal pay, and the decriminalization of abortion. Womenfor also supports LGBTQ+ rights and intersectional feminism, recognizing that women's experiences are shaped by multiple factors including race, class, and sexuality.

Womenfor has fielded candidates in various elections, including the 2019 European Parliament elections and the 2021 United Kingdom local elections. The party has gained a small but notable presence in local councils and has been involved in campaigns on issues such as climate change, social justice, and animal welfare.

Despite its relatively small size, Womenfor has been recognized for its advocacy on women's rights and its commitment to feminist principles. The party has been praised for its inclusive approach, welcoming members from diverse backgrounds and identities. However, it has also faced criticism for its lack of representation in national politics and its perceived focus on identity politics.
