🧵4. "Every time the #DWP makes an administrative decision that puts into effect the provisions of the #StatePensions Act that discriminates against women, it is creating and compounding a wrong" (against #50sWomen & so on) Dr Scutt
⬇️
🧵3. Ratification in 1986 meant that any legislation that discriminated against women should have been repealed, let alone any new Acts being passed by Parliament that continued to discriminate against women, as the #StatePensions Act of 1995 did, in contravention of #CEDAW
⬇️
🧵2. Dr Scutt said "A wrong committed 30 years ago in the passage of the #StatePensions Act 1995 must be undone as it acts in contravention of the Convention for the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women #CEDAW"
#50sWomen
⬇️
#50sWomen had the righteous expectation that they would receive their contributory #StatePensions at the age of 60 as was promised from the age of 15 when many began work
The raising of #StatePensionAge with no impact assessment or proper notification was a breach of law

4. 🧵
By characterising this structural deferral of a statutory entitlement such as #StatePensions as an equalising measure, the state obscured the severe, asymmetric #economic harm inflicted on a specific demographic cohort of #olderwomen (#50sWomen)
See William Gladstone:

#StatePensions
Why isn't the bbc investigating the outrageously low state pensions. . . . ?
@resfoundation This will condemn millions more #women in particular to #oldage in #poverty
Even #StatePensions will not be equal until 2040 and private #pensions never due to discriminatory pensions policies
#50sWomen know

UK state pension up by £470 to £11,790 a yr.
26% of retirees receive the full amount
SP is less than 50% of minimum wage. Worst in major economies..
Thousands below the poverty line lost winter fuel payment.
2m pensioners live in poverty.
110,000 a year die in fuel poverty
#StatePensions
Why work hard for up to 50 years, to be starved and frozen when you are old and vulnerable. . . . . .????
#StatePensions
Elected governments should respect its retired citizens and ensure that all state pensions 'must' be brought up to date and increased to a 'livable amount' for a decent life for our vulnerable pensioners, who have 'done their bit' . . . . .
@roberthenryjohn Guess which one of the above is taxable?
Lords' Daily Allowance or #StatePensions?
It seems the answer to the question below is #pensioners, including #50sWomen already robbed of 6 yrs #pension & now paying #tax on either #SERPs or tiny private pensions

#StatePensions men/women will not be equal until 2040, private #pensions NEVER unless more action is taken over:
❗️equal pay/opportunities
❗️maternity/child care allowances
❗️carers' allowance for disabled/elders
❗️revaluing jobs women do
❗️sharing pensions on divorce

#StatePensions
The 'tax free allowance' must be unfrozen and increased to at least £25k. To stop taking tax from pensioners. . . .
as always we can rely on @INorBY2020 a #50swomen facts matter, much appreciated, this is so depressing people need 2 wake up @UKLabour r taking the hard working people 4 fools enough already #StatePensions #inequality we aren't all boomers #intergenerationalstrife #localelections
“Our analysis shows that, each year, over 92,000 adults die before they can draw their #pension
This figure will rise by thousands for every year the #pensionage increases”
Marie Curie Uk
#50sWomen understand the impact as 1 dies every 12 mins
Yet £87bn held in #NIF
@INorBY2020
All those proposing cuts to #triplelock & even #StatePensions as a whole are simply displaying yet more #misogyny
It is ALWAYS #women who suffer most as there is still #inequality in employment, pensions laws & #caring responsibilities
All #women #WomenMPs should be up in arms
@YardleyShooting @Fasgadh27 The £271bn "rape" of the National Insurance Fund:
"This would pay more than three times over the money due to the #50sWomen – and even allow higher #statepensions for everybody else now"

@terryelaineh1 @canadiancarol1 @DrHoenderkamp @Conservatives @RachelReevesMP @UKLabour @Keir_Starmer Elaine, I know a couple of #WASPI ladies who voted for 'Liebour' in last GE believing they'd be compensated for stolen & lost #StatePensions Seems it was all lies & they're still waiting. For any govt to treat their elderly in such a manner is beyond understanding to me.
@bjc5473 @boot15_vu The £271bn "Rape" of the #NationInsuranceFund that denied #50sWomen their #StatePensions

#50sWomen had the legitimate expectation to receive their #StatePensions at age 60 as promised and not to suffer yet more #discrimination through the impact of rapid and unwarranted changes without consultation, impact assessment, notification or reference to ratified #CEDAW
This International Women's Day, @antonioguterres compels us to focus on rights, justice, and action #ForAllWomenAndGirls.
Fight back against discrimination wherever you see it and protect the freedoms all women deserve!
#IWD2026
‼️What might be fairest to #50sWomen would be to phase it in as rapidly as our #StatePensions were increased
‼️ie over 4.5 birth years 😅
The next General Election is not #Reforms by default.
Where are the radical policies to deal with the major issues that have been facing us for many years?
