Absolutely delighted to have announced today that the sales of our history booklet, 'Women of Shrewsbury', mean we can make a donation of £675 (and counting) to help those using #DomesticAbuse refuge services in #Shropshire.

Thanks to @mariehannah_l of @theRCN, @CerysWay of @GMB_union, & @JBuckleyLabour for speaking at our meeting on Health Services & Inequalities today to mark #InternationalWomensDay.
Some upsetting facts about conditions for staff & patients, but some glimmers of hope too. #IWD2023

[David Parton @DavidParton_]

Important and interesting talk on working class women and the crisis in the health service requiring industrial action, marking #IWD2023 this morning.
Organised by @SY1Womensforum/@ShrewsLabour, with poignant speeches from @CerysWay, @mariehannah_l and @JBuckleyLabour. 🌹✊

[Trades Union Congress @The_TUC]

BREAKING 🚨 | The average full-time nursery place is now almost £15,000 per year.

And 1 in 4 parents say the cost of childcare is now MORE THAN 75% of their take-home pay.

The Government must provide proper funding for childcare.

[Refuge @RefugeCharity]

Far too often when women speak up about the abuse they've experienced, they are not heard. We need to be celebrating women and amplifying their voices 365 days a year not just on #InternationalWomensDay.

[Women's Aid @womensaid]

This bill will only increase the danger women & children face in accessing safety. Ahead of #InternationalWomensDay 2023, we are deeply concerned to see a bill that will threaten women’s rights and human rights. (2/2)

[Women's Aid @womensaid]

Women and children fleeing war and persecution & seeking asylum are very often survivors of male violence - and as a charity representing survivors, we therefore strongly oppose the government's Illegal Migration Bill. (1/2)

[The Labour Party @UKLabour]

Today, on International Women's Day, we celebrate women's achievements in Britain and across the world.

We know there is still so much more to do.

Labour is, and always will be, the party of equality.

#IWD2023

[Christina McAnea @cmcanea]

UNISON is the largest women’s organisation in the U.K. and we’re leading the way in fighting for women’s rights here and across the world. Happy #IWD2023 @unisontheunion

[Shrewsbury Labour Party @ShrewsLabour]

Amazing work from Councillor Kate Halliday bringing this issue forward and take real action 👏👏👏

Last night's meeting in #Shrewsbury https://t.co/s9St8B4ZxU

[Joseph Rowntree Foundation @jrf_uk]

Join us and @TrussellTrust in calling on the government to guarantee that the basic rate of #UniversalCredit will always cover essentials such as food and heating, and ensure no one’s life is devastated by hardship. #OurEssentials https://t.co/W96obGGol3

[Joseph Rowntree Foundation @jrf_uk]

From April, Universal Credit will be set at £85 a week for a single adult, but there’s a significant gap between this and living costs. Our research shows that in order to cover the essentials, it must be increased to at least £120 a week. https://t.co/RsUwJcIP0P

[Dr Rosena @DrRosena]

Too many people with autism or ADHD are left waiting years for an assessment - some tragically taking their own lives out of desperation.

The Government have a responsibility to ensure that people can access the support they so vitally need.
