The impact of the pandemic on Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic women has been a harsh reality over the last year. As we look to our recovery, we cannot allow any woman to be held back. youtube.com/watch?v=S44OH7… #IWD2021 #ChooseToChallenge

Please BBC News (UK) take the word ‘debate’ out of your #SarahEverard reporting. Safety for women isn’t a debate, it’s a right. I think we can all agree that women should be safe, who is sat on the other side of that table?

It’s not right that inadequate social security support is leaving families unable to afford the basics. Tom Pollard’s report for IFAN captures the experiences of people on #UniversalCredit using food banks and the impact on their mental health foodaidnetwork.org.uk/blog/mental-he…

🚨 JRF responds to the #SpringStatement The Chancellor has abandoned many to the threat of destitution, not economic security, Dave Innes 🧵👇
