The women's movement in Britain is currently marked by divisions, a shift from the perceived solidarity of the 2010s. During that earlier period, women reportedly demonstrated openness and enthusiasm for campaigning on various issues, including those affecting migrant women.
Despite these divisions, which some attribute to social media's impact on debates, new alliances are forming offline. Projects such as Mothership are organising in-person 'kitchen table conversations' across Britain to connect women, addressing a reported sense of loneliness.
In Wigan, organisations like Northern Heart and Soul, which is women-led, are focusing on community work to support women facing challenges such as poverty and homelessness. Similarly, in the north-east of England, the One Million Women and Girls network connects women with local politicians to ensure their voices are heard, with key concerns including women's safety and jobs.
