About capitalwoman

Every year, capitalwoman brings London women of all ages and backgrounds together to discuss the issues affecting them. Open and free to all women, the conference coincides with International Women's Day and is organised by Mayor Ken Livingstone.

capitalwoman enables women to question the Mayor, policy makers and women's representatives directly on issues such as childcare, education, workplace issues and travel safety.

capitalwoman has grown rapidly since it started in 2001. Three hundred women attended the first ever conference, whereas over 3,000 people attended in 2008. More London women than ever want to have a say in how their city is run and in developing the policies affecting them.
