Ann Furedi

Ann Furedi nominated by Shaheen Hashmat

Ann Furedi has been a champion of women’s reproductive choice for a great many years, and her career to date demonstrates a lifelong passion for women’s rights. As CEO of bpas, not only is she responsible for overseeing the provision and protection of a service which is continually under threat by the pro-life lobby, she is also unafraid to take on the difficult questions about abortion. What’s right for one woman is rarely (if ever) right for all women – and Ann’s staunch defence of the right to choose is admirable.
