Join the GMCA Women & Girls Equality Panel Member

In 2020 the Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) established a Women and Girls Equality Panel, alongside 6 other equality panels, to accelerate gender equality in the city-region and highlight the voices of those not traditionally included in policymaking. The Panel works towards a vision for all women and girls across the ten boroughs of Greater Manchester and beyond to have equal opportunity to start well, live well and age well.

They are looking for women and girls over the age of 16* who:

• Are passionate about tackling sex and gender inequality and discrimination wherever they find it, from an inclusive and intersectional perspective.

• Have strong links to communities, as well as the ability to advocate for their perspectives and needs.

• Have first-hand experience of or insight into the issues the Panel will focus on.

Panel members will commit to:

• Providing a minimum of 12 half days to the work of the Panel annually (equating to around 3.5 hours a month), to include attending meetings, taking forward any actions that have been agreed, and reporting back progress to the panel.

• Following the Code of Conduct and Terms of Reference.

• Championing the work of the Panel to encourage wider participation and buy-in to its work.

The deadline for application submission is Sunday 18th January 2026.
