UNISON has almost one million women members - more than two thirds of our union. Women still earn a lot less than men and face sex discrimination and harassment at work. Our members also juggle work and home commitments. Many have caring responsibilities and almost half work part-time. This is why UNISON takes a lead on negotiating and campaigning on women's rights at work and in the community. To get involved in our campaign go to Equal Pay.

UNISON supports Fawcett's Sexism in the City campaign.

The City of London is one of the most economically prosperous areas in the world. But behind the conspicuous wealth of the City lies a hidden story of disadvantage and discrimination affecting women at all levels of business, perpetuating poverty, discrimination, and absence from the corridors of power.

End Violence Against Women

UNISON is proud to be a part of the End Violence Against Women coalition. UNISON affiliated to the coalition as a result of a 2008 Women’s Conference decision. Please see

OBJECT to Lap Dancing Licensing laws

A legal loophole means Lap Dancing Clubs are licensed like Cafes. However they, like peep shows, fulfil the legal definition of a Sex Encounter Establishment.

OBJECT and the Fawcett Society are working together on a campaign to close this loophole and for lap dancing to be licensed, regulated and recognised for what it is.

White Ribbon Campaign

UNISON is calling for all men to demonstrate their commitment to eradicating violence against women by wearing a white ribbon on 25 November
