Women's Fund

The statue of famous suffragette Emmeline Pankhurst could soon be ripped from its historic home next to Parliament, and moved to a private college where few will see it. The statue’s stood for 88 years as a symbol of women’s struggle for the right to vote - it’s history we can’t allow to disappear from public view. 

Tyne and Wear Museums are encouraging local women and girls to explore their collections and get involved in creating their first Women’s Collection.
