Islington 4 Women is on a mission to make Islington a better place for women. Anita Grant and Suzanne Lee established Islington 4 Women in 2017. The two women met when they were nominated as ‘Bold Women for Change’ in Islington, and the rest is history. Both equally outraged by the Radio 4 report which claimed Islington to be the worst place for women, they decided to create Islington 4 Women to do something about it. They have been instrumental in increasing women’s safety in Islington, organising events such as guided walks for women, logging safety concerns with the police, and now writing this book!
India Hollway was born in Holloway, Islington, and grew up playing in those streets. Always encouraged by play-forward parents, they have never doubted the importance of equality and opportunity for children and young people. As a copy-writer and author, they were more than happy to build this site, and write the nominations into easy-to-read blogs. They are proud to be from Islington, and have loved learning more about it’s amazing women.
