The streets should be safe for all women. Ran by @rachcunningham_ and @ellie_kidd)

So as I investigate deeper into what life as a woman in the 21st century is like, I will be looking at the treatment of modern day women from all over the world and finding out whether or not the 21st century really is the best time to be a woman.

An extract from an essay written by Rachel in 2019 (aged 17).

To be a woman in the 21st century means a variety of things, all depending on where you are born, who you were born to, and the environment in which you grow.

It left me with the question ‘What is life really like as a 21st century woman?’ and why is life so difficult for certain women and why does society favour some over the other?

If you need time off work following the loss of your baby you either have to ask your employer if they provide compassionate leave or agree to unpaid leave. On the other hand, you could go on sick leave.

THIS IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

DID YOU KNOW:

Couples in New Zealand who have a miscarriage or stillbirth will be eligible for paid bereavement leave under a new law approved by parliament. New Zealand is reportedly only the second country in the world to introduce the measure, after India.

And while this may be a step forward for this type of legislation in a broader sense, it seems the UK government is nowhere near even looking at this issue. In the UK, you cannot qualify for maternity leave or pay if you have a miscarriage.

This movement does not belong to us. This movement belongs to all women, especially those failed by men and by the Police most: black and brown, queer, disabled and trans women.

As a @WhiteRibbon_UK Ambassador I thought it right that I tabled the below Statement w/ friend & colleague @bethanjenkins.

I hope fellow @SeneddWales Members consider adding their names.
