Platform 51 is a charity that supports girls and women as they take control of their lives.

We do two things. Firstly, we work face-toface with women. Because each person has different problems, what we do is different in each case. By taking part in courses, group activities and counselling, we help each woman to understand what is going on in her life. This usually inspires women to take the first step which might be finding

the courage to say ‘no’, learning to speak English, applying to college, or having more confidence as a parent.

Secondly, we speak out on behalf of all women in England and Wales. We challenge inequality, discrimination and negative stereotypes of women by influencing decision makers and lobbying for changes in the law.
