#OnTheRoll Campaign

Published 2nd September 2016

#OnTheRoll captures the story of how women were prevented from getting a job in the legal industry for decades, simply because there were no female toilet facilities at law firms and legal institutions.

This unbelievable story has been printed on one hundred limited edition toilet rolls.

You can purchase this special edition roll for £100. For more information, please email [email protected]

The project is looking for supporters to enable us to create a digital platform of 100 original stories featuring women who have shaped the legal profession since the Sex Disqualification (Removal) Act 1919 paved the way for women to become lawyers.

For £50 your name would be entered into our Digital Donors’ Wall.

Thank you!
