Women2Win is a mentoring and pressure group within the BritishConservative Party that promotes the election of more Conservative womenMPs and increased involvement of Conservative women in public life.[1]
Women2Win was founded in 2005 byTheresa May (who subsequently became Prime Minister and later Baroness May of Maidenhead) and byAnne Jenkin (who became Baroness Jenkin of Kennington).[2][3] In 2018, Theresa May launched Women2WinWales at the Welsh Conservative Party Conference, launching the campaign to elect the first female Welsh Conservative MP.[4]Charlotte Carew Pole serves as the director.
When Women2Win was founded there were 17 Conservative women MPs (9% of the parliamentary party) and by 2018 this had increased to 67 (20%);[5] the work of Women2Win and of Theresa May in particular have been credited for contributing to this trend.[6]
