Rights here Rights Now. Why you need to join our campaign demanding stronger protection for workers’ rights...
We should all be treated fairly at work. It’s not radical, it’s the law. But workplaces are unfair. Especially for young women.
Young women
are being...
Discriminated against.
Sexually harassed.
Underpaid.
Paid late.
Not paid at all…
Workers’ rights
are being violated.
A lack of proper enforcement means rogue
employers are
getting away
with this.
Too many young women face unfair, even illegal treatment at work - unequal pay, discrimination, exploitation.
It’s time to blow the whistle on unfair work.
Join the movement. Demand change.

Women will suffer most from cuts to disability benefits
Cuts will push hundreds of thousands of women into poverty or force them out of workforce
£5bn disability benefit cuts will push 250,000 into poverty. Women—especially Disabled women and unpaid carers—will be hardest hit. Why target the most vulnerable?
WBG Director @maryannstephenson.bsky.social sets out the case for fairer choices: www.opendemocracy.net/en/disabilit...

So much chat about how young people don't want to work... not enough about how zero hours & exploitative practices affect young people, young women most of all.
Me + @journomaryamq.bsky.social worked with @youngwomenstrust.bsky.social to uncover some grim tales.

Women make up the majority of disabled people and their unpaid carers - you can’t close the gender pay gap and grow the economy through cuts to social security and public services.

Image of:
Insecure work = low pay, paid late, working when sick, sexual harassment, paid below minimum wage, unpredictable hours and wages.
This is the reality.
🏆 Our #Researchoftheweek goes to @youngwomenstrust.bsky.social for their Living precariously: young women’s experiences of insecure work report.
It finds young women are more exposed to the challenges of insecure work in low paid sectors. (1/3)

Many young women are getting trapped in low paid and insecure work with long term implications for their finances and life chances - and our economy as a whole.
I joined BBC Woman’s Hour today to talk about the sticky floor at work for young women and how we change it

Joy and inspiration at Centenary Action's #Mission2028 campaign launch in Parliament.
We celebrated the 40% of MPs who are women with outstanding speeches. But we'll need the largest-ever proportional increase in women to achieve a 50:50 Parliament by 2028 - the centenary of equal franchise

With increases to the minimum wage, improved access to childcare and the Employment Rights Bill on the horizon, there’s real grounds for hope for low paid workers as we move into 2025. Urgent change is needed as these shocking findings highlight: research.youngwomenstrust.org/annual-surve...
