A human rights organisation that works to end violence and discrimination against women and girls is auctioning a unique prize to raise funds.

Equality Now is offering a walk-on part for the final season of The L Word to the highest bidder.

The award-winning drama featuring the lives and loves of lesbian, bi and trans women in LA has been a huge hit in the US and Europe.

"The L Word will culminate early next year in eight final episodes, marking the end of an era chronicling the lives of these iconic characters who have played a pivotal role in changing cultural perceptions of lesbians and the transgender community on and off screen," the show's producers said.

The winner will get a behind-the-scenes look at how one of television’s hottest series gets filmed, meet some of the actors, tour the production facility, and eat lunch with the cast and crew. And they can bring a friend.

Starting bid for the walk-on role is $1,000 (£547).
