Laura Bates, a best-selling author and keynote speaker, founded the Everyday Sexism Project, which has amassed over 100,000 testimonies of gender inequality.
Her notable books include "Everyday Sexism," shortlisted for Waterstones Book of the Year, and "Girl Up," a Sunday Times bestseller.
Laura collaborates with politicians, businesses, schools, and organisations, including the Council of Europe and the United Nations, to promote equality and diversity. Her work highlights the business benefits of addressing gender inequality and misogyny, noting that tackling these issues can significantly enhance performance and productivity.
Her activism has led to significant achievements, such as convincing Facebook to revise its policies on rape and domestic abuse content, integrating sexual consent and healthy relationships into school curricula, and improving the British Transport Police's response to sexual violence incidents.
In recognition of her contributions, Laura received a British Empire Medal in the 2015 Queen’s Birthday Honours List, participated in President Obama’s White House Summit on the United State of Women, and was named Woman of the Year by Cosmopolitan, Red Magazine, and The Sunday Times Magazine.
