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.

Discrimination. Sexual harassment. Unfair pay.

A week on from the Supreme Court ruling, and our message is simple: it changes nothing about who we’re here for.
Trans women, you belong here and we stand with you. Misogyny and sexism harm us all: trans, non-binary or cis.

🚨 Exploitation. Discrimination. Insecurity.
Young women are being lured into jobs with the promise of quick cash - only to face low pay, long hours and toxic conditions.
Too many are trapped in insecure work with nowhere to turn.

🚨 The Chancellor talked growth but ignored young women facing unsafe workplaces and discrimination.
The Employment Rights Bill is a start, but without enforcement, it's just words.
Young women deserve action.

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.

Together with the women’s sector, we oppose the gov’s proposed cuts to disability benefits. We’ve sent an open letter to the Chancellor ahead of tomorrow’s Spring Statement. 🧵 1/3

🚨 It’s 2025, and young women still aren’t treated with respect at work.
Zero-hours contracts, low pay, last-minute shift changes - even sexual harassment - are rife. Speaking out can mean losing work.
Work should provide stability, not stress. We can’t let this continue.
