RHWACA Marches on the 19th Nov: FAWCETT DAY OF ACTION

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

The government’s approach to cutting the deficit is turning back time on women’s equality. 

This can’t go on.



Meet at Egham Train Station at 10h30 to catch the train together into London and to Temple Tube, where the March begins. 

It finishes at 13h30 at King Charles Street with a rally. 

The theme: 1950s vintage.
People: No matter your gender, join us.

Grab the hair gel, lipstick and headscarves; we're making a stand.

Let's make Holloway proud!
