“You must make women count as much as men; you must have an equal standard of morals; and the only way to enforce that is through giving women political power so that you can get that equal moral standard registered in the laws of the country. It is the only way.”
Emmeline Pankhurst
Centenary Action
Inspired by the suffragettes and suffragists, Centenary Action was established by Professor Helen Pankhurst CBE, granddaughter of Sylvia and great-granddaughter of Emmeline, in 2018 to mark the centenary of some women getting the right to vote and to take action over the following 10 years to deliver a gender equal parliament by 2028.
Driven by this mission, and the historic responsibility, they are a leading voice for women’s political representation, having created a coalition of over 100 activists, politicians and academics. They are a cross-party campaigning force supporting women, bringing local, national and international organisations together to amplify voices and campaign for change.
Helen Pankhurst CBE with the Women Count MP brooch, and with Sarah Day, founder of Wear and Resist and Alex Davies-Jones, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Violence Against Women and Girls at the Ministry of Justice.
The Women Count collection is a collaboration with Centenary Action and Wear and Resist to celebrate Centenary Action's Mission 2028. Fifty percent of the purchase price of the Women Count MP brooch, and 20% from everything else in the Women Count collection will go to support Centenary Action’s continuing campaign to improve women’s political participation in the UK.

Let customers speak for us
I bought these earrings for my sister who is a lover of walking in bluebell woodlands - she adored them.
Such a beautiful design and so beautifully made.
Thank you :)
Great service, it felt personal and attentive...great card ...looking forward to giving to my bestie!
Thank you Sarah, I love my necklace. Great ideology and fabulous product
Couldn't agree more with the sentiment, and as a last second gift for my sister I didn't expect to get it until after her birthday - but it was posted super fast, I couldn't believe it - thank you (you saved me!). I love the hot pink version, it looks amazing. A brilliant gift for my kick-ass sister.
I love this and it a talking point. It's an excellent way to start a discussion about how women should not feel about the male violence perpetrated against them. Gisele Pelicot is indeed a hero of our times.
I wanted some blue jewellery for a special occasion and whilst I could have popped into town and got something from one of the high street retailers, I really wanted what I wore to hold meaning for me. I adore Wear and Resist, and Sarah's ethos and values in the brand. These lightning bolt earrings are beautiful - I wore them with the matching pendant - and I felt empowered and calm wearing them.
I adore this! Is really comfortable to wear and looks great. It really is glow in the dark and I am dead pleased to have got it as part of a wider centenary action campaign. It’s a little reminder to keep going and remember that there still much to be done
Gorgeous design and great to remember strength and achievement of suffragettes when so much need for courage in the world right now.
Have these lightning bolt mirror earrings in so many colours now ... gotta catch 'em all!
These are just gorgeous! Love what they symbolise and also love the colours. Light and comfortable to wear
Gorgeous, sturdy, I wear it most days! Adjustable for even my weird little wrists (I love this style of bracelet because it's super secure and you never have to worry about it sliding off). Lots of compliments from people tilting their heads sideways to read it 😂 Absolutely gorgeous- would love to see a purple and green version in the future!
I wanted a big, bold necklace to promote my wokeness and this was the one! It’s gorgeous, big and glittery - what more could you want?
Really good quality and with a nicely adjustable chain, meaning you can wear it above a neckline or over clothing.
Great brooch to support the resistance in a quiet way. Lovely conversation starter. It really catches the light.
These earrings are so light to wear and very delicate. I love the colours and the message is so important! As ever very happy with my purchase.
