🌍 WOMEN'S VOICES. GLOBAL CHALLENGES. COLLECTIVE ACTION.

From 2–5 November, National Council of Women GB will be welcoming representatives of the International Council of Women to London for its 2026 Executive Committee Meeting.

Under the theme "Women's Empowerment and Leadership: A Quantum Leap for Peace, Progress and Equality", women from across the world will come together to share experiences, exchange ideas and strengthen international cooperation.

At a time when women's rights, democracy and equality face significant challenges, the importance of working together has never been greater.

From digital safety and climate change to women's leadership and protection from violence, the discussions will focus on turning shared concerns into meaningful action.

NCWGB is proud to host this important international gathering and help ensure that women's voices continue to influence decisions at every level.

💜 Together, we can achieve more.

Basic income is about more than income. It’s about the public good.

A universal basic income is not just a way to redistribute money. It invites us to rethink what we owe one another as members of society, and what we need to build a society in which everyone can live with dignity, security, and freedom.

The public realm is more than the institutions we share. It is the social foundation that makes individual freedom and collective wellbeing possible.

What if we understood basic income not simply as a benefit, but as an investment in the society we want to live in?
