Fawcett Day of Action

FAWCETT SOCIETY DAY OF ACTION: SATURDAY 19TH NOVEMBER! On average, women earn less, own less, and are more likely to work and retire in poverty than men. The government’s approach to cutting the deficit will widen the gap between women and men: -Female unemployment is rising as jobs are cut in public service -The benefits and services women rely on more are being slashed -Women on low incomes are becoming poorer -The pay gap looks set to widen -Women’s access to vital support services is being undermined -Increasing numbers of women are being forced to give up work as cuts to childcare support means their jobs no longer cover the family’s care costs On November 19th, join us on the ‘DON’T turn back time’ March in London or host your own ‘DON’T turn back time’ tea party to help us tell David Cameron: “DON’T TURN BACK TIME ON WOMEN’S EQUALITY!” More info: www.fawcettsociety.org.uk
