We need as many signatures as possible before we deliver it to candidates to show that young women matter.

Young women need to be heard. 📣
There are 9.5 million of us young women. And a million of us on are on low or no pay.
So young women have created a manifesto showing what we need for a fair deal at work, so we can reach our potential and thrive.👇
I just wrote to my Parliamentary candidates to ask them to sign the Fawcett's Society's zero-misogyny pledge for the General Election. Join me by asking yours too! https://t.co/XuX19RzOq8;
This is the kind of leadership and cross-government working we need to end #homelessness.
We look forward to hearing more and working with whoever forms the next Government to make homelessness history.
Young women earn a fifth less than young men each year, equating to £4,000 less annually. For some, the gap is even larger.
This election you can call for change and fight for fair pay: https://t.co/zAoKNhgCaX
Denying people access to housing is inhumane.
It seems trying to turn us against each other is easier than providing the social housing we as a country desperately need.
Let's build more social housing, not more division.

When 15% of HR decision makers think men are better suited to senior roles than women (🦖🦕) it’s not really a surprise that women are paid less and don’t get promoted as fast as men 👇

Luckily young women are amazing, and if change won’t come soon enough they’ll change things themselves (not that they should have to). So they’ve created their Manifesto for an Equal World of Work. https://t.co/8kHDC50Yq7

📢 Breaking news!
⚠️Our latest research reveals that the cost of living crisis is hitting young women harder, with the gap between young women and young men widening.
https://t.co/9vvBP4x4HN
The cost of living crisis is going from bad to worse for young women and hitting them harder than young men - because they earn £5k a year less to start with.
@GMB highlights the problem as we release the cost of living findings from the @YWTrust annual survey today
The cost of living crisis is widening the gender pay gap making women less financially stable according to a survey by Young Women's Trust. Almost half of young women think their finances worsened over the last year compared to around a third of young men.

What a miserable picture of how we’re failing our young women.
Sexism, the cost of living, harrassment, online safety, the climate, their futures.
All these worries weighing on them when in any fair world they’d be full of hope and having fun.
