One Loud Voice For Women

One Loud Voice for Women is an organisation designed to make the workplace better for women. We do this by coordinating the huge numbers of women's networks in the UK and putting their voices behind critical campaigns designed to make a difference. Via these networks we can represent the voices of 100,000 women. The idea for 1LV came when members of International women’s Forum UK (IWF UK) were discussing the agenda for women. There was a shared frustration that despite much progress, there are still so many major obstacles to women achieving equality a work. As a result IWF UK joined ranks with other well-known women’s networks to begin the process of bringing voices and networks together. The focus of 1LV is on engagement with networks representing women at all levels of seniority in the UK workforce. We represent women in the workforce and aim to influence employers and hiring managers so that organisational culture, policies and practices accelerate opportunities for women to succeed and help achieve gender equality. 1LV is not political. 1LV is not a membership organisation. 1LV raises money through sponsorship and philanthropic donations. We want to enhance the voices of the women’s groups already campaigning for gender equality in the workplace.
