Protest group: 'Cabinet out-of-touch with women'
– Sarah Greene, UK Uncut activistThe Government could easily bring in billions that could fund vital services by clamping down on tax-dodging, but are instead making cuts that are forcing women to choose between motherhood and work, and trapping them in abusive relationships.
– Sheena Shah, UK Uncut activistWomen have had enough of being attacked by a Cabinet of out-of-touch millionaire men. The Government's savage austerity plans are pushing the cause of women's equality back decades.
Welfare, healthcare, SureStart centres, childcare, rape and domestic abuse services are being cut and female unemployment is rocketing.
Benefits cuts are forcing women to choose between heating the house and feeding the family. No-one should have to make these choices.
