Soaps need to do better by their women

This International Women’s Day we beg soaps: please do better for your women!

There's a lot of unnecessary suffering going on!

It’s International Women’s Day! But sadly the message of the day, which celebrates women’s achievements as well as promoting equality doesn’t seem to have reached Walford, Weatherfield or Emmerdale.

The soaps are built on strong women. They tell women’s stories. Their female characters are legendary. And let’s be honest, while we all know men who love a bit of soapy drama, a majority of the viewers are women too.

Back in 2019, Emmerdale aired a special all-female episode for International Women’s Day. The episode only featured female characters, was written, directed and produced by women, and even had an “almost entirely female” crew.
