If the BWA can help to have the existing employment/health and safety law enforced it would be a great start for them.

Here's an idea:
The first thing to do is get hold of every company's H&S and equal opportunities policies (just ask them), and see what they stand for; maybe make helpful suggestions if they are not acknowledging legislation they should be etc. or if there are ways they could be meeting their obligations more easily. Then, make sure all workers have access to those policies. Then, support anyone who feels the policies aren't being upheld.

This should be possible in an open, above-board and friendly fashion, and is the sort of thing where BWA can help companies to meet their own aspirations. I'm reasonably sure that a lot more failings are due to overworked project managers than sexist project managers.

Obviously, it needs to be done with a fair bit of tact; don't want to alienate people who are doing their best.
