Don't turn back time on women’s rights

via Fawcett News

New report details “targeted, achievable policies” to defend women’s rights.

The Fawcett Society, backed by a coalition of more than 20 charities, unions and academics, has today unveiled a new report entitled A Life Raft for Women’s Equality.

Detailing a series of key policy recommendations for government, the Life Raft for Women’s Equality comes amid growing evidence that the government’s approach to reducing the deficit is ‘turning back time’ on women’s equality – and is published on the same day the Minister for Women and Equalities is expected to give a speech outlining the government’s approach to women and the economy.
