WOMEN LEFT BEHIND
– CALL TO GOVERNMENT-
12th October 2020
Women play a key part in the economy, yet the government has made little provision to support them in the latest budget release. This willl further the gender gap and will leave many women behind.
These areas are in urgent need of attention:
– Accessible & Viable Childcare
– Affordable & Sustainable Housing
– Services to Protect & Prevent Gender Based Violence
