The Fawcett Society are also working with with indie band Bon Iver on their campaign 2 A Billion to tackle violence against women and girls.

Bon Iver are offering Fawcett supporters the chance to win an exclusive fan package, which includes two tickets to Bon Iver’s sold out show at Eventim Apollo, London, on February 27, one signed poster, one signed “22, A Million” LP, and a '2 A Billion' t-shirt.
