Sarah Champion MP is amongst 100 of the most inspirational and influential Women in Westminster - 2022

The House Magazine’s annual celebration of the most inspirational and influential women in Westminster was back for a third year on 7 March 2022, the day before International Women’s Day. Women in Westminster: The 100 celebrates the outstanding accomplishments of women in public life by recognising those who have achieved excellence in the world of Westminster, with the aim of inspiring the next generation of young women to get involved.

The 100 women is made up of parliamentarians, civil servants, journalists, public affairs specialists, political commentators and more.

On hearing the news, Sarah Champion MP said:

“It is such an honour to once again be named as one of the top 100 women in Westminster. I’m incredibly proud to be the first woman MP for Rotherham and I have always tried to represent and empower other women in my work. There is much to be done to create a more equal society in the UK, and indeed internationally, but I will keep fighting for it.”

Baroness Jenkin commented: “I’m delighted that The House magazine’s Women in Westminster: The 100 is back. This year’s list recognises the stories of 100 women who have inspired and made a difference, but we know this is just a small portion of all the remarkable women who have demonstrated courage, adaptability, and innovation across all areas of Westminster.

Women still face a number of challenges, but we shouldn’t lose sight of the huge strides that we all continue to make, and the exceptional women that have been working at the forefront, and behind the scenes, of this country through a global pandemic.”

Images from the dedicated Women in Westminster event will be available following 7 March 2022.
