Major employers have committed to working with Bridget Phillipson, the Minister for Women and Equalities, to tackle misogyny. This partnership is described as the latest step in a whole-society approach to addressing misogyny.
Arriva Bus, Centrica, Lime, Salesforce, and Zurich are among the first businesses to join this initiative. These companies operate across sectors including transport, utilities, software, and financial services.
The businesses will also support the government's new National Taskforce to Tackle Misogyny, offering specific expertise where relevant. The taskforce will gather experts, ministers, and local leaders to discuss the experiences of women and girls, aiming to shape government policy and address harmful attitudes in various settings.
