As the oldest affiliated female political organisation in the world, the CWO has been supporting women into public life since 1919.
All members (men and women) of the Party can be members of the CWO as long as they agree to our aim: “To support more women into public life.”
We encourage women to join the Conservative Party and progress within the voluntary party to stand for elected office as Councillors, Police Crime Commissioners, Mayors, Parliamentary Candidates and all elected roles in the Conservative Party, supporting women with their campaign. We also want to develop policies that are in the interests of women. If you are not a member of the Party but are still interested in the work of the CWO then please join as a “Friend of the CWO.” This limits access to certain elements such as the CWO Development training but other events such as Parliamentary Forums and events are open to all.
The CWO provides training, mentoring and speaking opportunities. We encourage and support women who wish to become involved at all levels of public life or in their local communities: From school governors to public appointments, Cllrs to MPs. The CWO is there to help support all Conservative candidates through CWO Development, both men and women can join our courses.
We are FREE to all Conservative Party members. Please click here to join conservativewomen.uk/join-the-cwo/
