A Women's Issues Working Group was established by BUGB Council in 1996 to promote the gifts and ministries of women and has become what is now known as the National Gender Justice Hub.  This Hub continues to work to ensure gender equality within the life and structures of our Union, as well as maintaining national and international links with women's organisations.  One specific area of work has been to enable churches to understand and respond appropriately to issues of domestic violence.

In March 2010, BUGB Council passed a resolution affirming the leadership of women.

In June 2018, the Gender Justice Hub and the BME Women Ministers’ Network presented a conference at IMC in Birmingham for Baptist women ministers, non-ordained women in a qualifying office, MiTs and those exploring a call to ministry.   Click here for the statement made by participants in response to this Celebrating, Surviving and Thriving - Women in Baptist Ministry conference.
