 | More than one rung | Our More than one rung campaign which launched in May 2007, is about helping young women to work their way up and off the bottom rung of the career ladder, and step up to a better life.
 | General election 2005 | We used the general election on 5 May 2005 to get the opinions and concerns of young women onto the policital agenda.
We asked young women: 'what are you most worried about and what would you like to change?' We turned their responses into cartoon illustrations and mailed them out on postcards and posters to all parliamentary candidates.
