​Sandra Gordon, Director of Bristol Women in Business Charter said: “We congratulate the new Prime Minister, his government and all the MPs who have been elected in Bristol. With a change of this magnitude comes the promise of better working and living conditions for women.
 
“This in turn is good for the economy – where women thrive, local communities become stronger and healthier. So, we also welcome the Labour Party’s commitment to creating better business that creates financial prosperity but also social value. 
 
“Our city has a huge part to play in supporting the ambitions of this Government and with the region’s first Green Party MP there will also be an added focus on climate justice, which goes hand in hand with social justice. 
 
“We will now be looking for this new administration to take immediate and direct action to tackle the significant challenges facing women around issues such as affordable childcare, gender pay equality and increased intersectional female representation in the decision-making process.”
