Pankhurst-Fawcett Scorecard
Named in honour of Emmeline Pankhurst and Millicent Fawcett—two iconic figures within the women’s suffrage movement—the Pankhurst-Fawcett Scorecard allows us to track gender equality across Greater Manchester, focussing on five key areas.
Used by organisations across Greater Manchester, the scorecard monitors key data to assess progress towards achieving gender equality. Our goal is to reach full equality by 2028, marking the centenary of equal franchise in the UK.

Key points from the 2024 data
1
It continues to be very difficult to find data at a GM level. Intersectional data is also limited; for instance, judicial appointments can be searched by gender or by ethnicity, but not by both combined.
2
In one case, regionally disaggregated data is not available without charge at the time of publication (Women in Engineering and Technology at Undergraduate Level).
3
On a positive note, data for "Construction & Built Environment Apprentices" has been updated by a year, and all figures have been revised accordingly.
4
Data is particularly hard to obtain in certain areas, especially regarding women’s safety. Research on sexual violence survivors accessing support has not been repeated, despite its importance.
5
Four of the ten indicators show no change and the rest only show one or two percentages changes from year to year and not always in the right direction, e.g. the gender pay gap increasing.
6
None of the five thematic areas show both indicators improving. Gender gaps persist, with little sustained progress over five years. At this rate, the 2028 centenary of equal franchise will offer little to celebrate.
