SUMMARY:Resolutions Pros & Cons Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Would you like more information about the chosen resolutions?\nWould you like your WI to make an informed decision when voting?\nCome and discuss the pros and cons of this year’s selected resolutions: \n\nAccessible public toilet facilities to promote dignity\, health\, and social inclusion\n\nThis resolution is a call for accessible\, clean\, free public toilets which are fundamental to inclusion and wellbeing\, especially for women\, older people\, disabled individuals\, parents and carers. It invites WI branches to take meaningful action—through advocacy\, partnership\, and community engagement—to support local authorities and civil society in reversing the closure trend and ensuring dignity for all. \n\nAction on women’s homelessness \n\nThe NFWI echoes the calls of homelessness charities and urges all levels of government to take action to reduce women’s homelessness\, reduce the number of women at risk of homelessness\, and improve the quality of temporary accommodation. We call on WI members to support homelessness organisations in their communities and campaign to ensure that all women have a place they can safely call home.\nIn order to take into consideration WI and federation capacity\, it is proposed that should both resolutions be passed at the Annual Meeting\, the following approach would be taken: \n\nA local-only campaign is developed for Accessible Public Toilet Facilities should this resolution pass. This is in line with the focus of the resolution. NFWI support would include providing outline campaign guidance and signposting to relevant organisations. This would be an opportunity for WIs and federations to focus on local campaigning on this topic. Members have expressed to the NFWI a desire for more practical local campaigns\, and this resolution lends itself well to this approach.\nA nationally focused campaign is developed for Action on Women’s Homelessness should this resolution pass. This would include educational activity on the topic\, exploring national partnerships and much more limited local action.\nTaking a phased approach to implementing campaigns on these resolutions should they both pass at the 2026 AM.\n\nThis event is for WI Members only. \nNOTE: NFWI will also be hosting a webinar on Friday 24 April 2026 at 12noon. Members who wish to join can register their interest via MyWI https://www.thewi.org.uk/campaigns/resolutions/join-our-resolution-webinar-in-april
