Writing newspapers and firms is a very good idea. I do that already, and if many of us do it will ultimately have an impact. Also not supporting brand names which do not support women.

On JK Rowling, people could support her charity, Lumos, and send her supporting emails.

But ultimately we need a large organization with some clout. So far the ones which exist here are not large. So sign up as a member if you can.

Which organisations did you have in mind to sign up for or support?

This depends on the country, I guess. The UK has several possible ones (Fair Play For Women is one) but the US not that many. Hands Across the Aisle (?) is the only one that comes to my mind, but some dislike it because it includes both conservative and lefty women. There are probably are others? I have no knowledge of the remaining countries, sorry. So clearly a lot of work needs to be done.

In the UK, Baroness Nicholson is trying to put together some sort of campaigning organisation. It’s still very early stages, but hopefully something will come of it soon.
