“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
Just love this piece! Not taken it off since it arrived, wears well with my other necklaces size message and love love the star on the bottom. Love all's Sarah's work, got quite a collection going now! And super fast post and sweet messages . You rock Wear & Resist 💜🙏🏼💜
I bought one of these for me and one as a gift. Sarah went out of her way to ensure the gift arrived on time despite me leaving it a little late to order (sorry Sarah!). Both the recipient and I LOVED our bracelets. They're sturdy and gorgeous and it's lovely to have sweaty charms dangling from my wrist. Excellent customer service and beautiful jewellery as always.
Fantastic little earrings. I actually meant to buy the black glitter version but ordered the flame (red) glitter version instead. I'm glad I did though, as the red glitter earrings are gorgeous. If you like smaller stud earrings that are a bit glam and sparkly, these are for you! Came in a lovely Wear & Resist gift box too.
As a fan of (original pre-Disney) Star Wars, I love this. And it's important to show your support for any kind of rebel alliance, fictional or not! I got the gold sparkly version which is fantastically glittery, i love wearing it. Arrived quickly in lovely gift boxes. I'd buy the entire range of Wear & Resist jewellery if I could!
I love wearing this!
My order was packaged well and delivery was prompt. I'm definitely ordering more items.
I'm looking forward to seeing my friend open this gift. I'm sure she'll love it!
Many comments have been passed since I've worn this.
A gorgeous brooch with a timely message, it arrived quickly, was well packaged and looks even better than the photo. And helping Ukraine in my small way is a bonus.
I am now a BULK Wear and Resist buyer. Once you've discovered this statement jewelry you can't leave it alone. This purchase was for my teenage goddaughter and I know that it will genuinely give her stretch and courage because all the pieces are not only beautiful but also genuinely magical and witchy.
This necklace is off to Canada for our daughter's birthday in April - I know she will love it! Thanku wear & resist xxx
Love this simple bracelet that has an important message to remember when you are going through bad times or good! It’s beautifully made and feels durable despite being delicate.
My order came promptly and the necklace has been much admired.
Gorgeous handmade badge showing support Ukraine 🇺🇦. Beautifully made, I get comments every time I wear it.
Great quality, great design, arrived promptly and well packaged. Thank you 😀
I have been following the news with absolute rage lately and this brooch was my small way of expressing a little of it! It's good quality, sturdy and bright. Looks great on my denim jacket.
