The 40% Project

RPS Women in Photography

As a result of last year’s General Election, there are a record number of women in Parliament.

The RPS Women in Photography group is excited to introduce the 40% Project, a powerful initiative celebrating the inspiring rise of women in politics.

The 40% Project celebrates a powerful milestone: women now make up 40% of the UK Parliament. This achievement is a testament to the strength, resilience, and determination of women who have fought for their place at the table, working to reshape the political landscape in the process.

Our goal is to celebrate the remarkable impact of female MPs through photography, highlighting their strength, grace, and leadership. We’re inviting passionate photographers—especially women—to help share these stories, capturing the journey of women who’ve made a difference and continue to inspire future generations. If you’re eager to contribute to this inspiring project through your lens, we’d love for you to join us.

Let’s celebrate this achievements of women in politics! 📷✨

Are you ready to be part of something incredible?

As a result of last year’s General Election, there are a record number of women in Parliament. There are now 263 women MPs. This represents 40% of the total seats in Parliament. - This is a fantastic achievement!

The RPS Women in Photography group is celebrating this with a photography project involving its members.

'40%' sets out to portray the current women MPs through the eyes of female and female-identifying photographers. 

We are working to exhibit the results on railings in Central London and other locations across the country.
