Once again the lack of research on female PPE is placing women in more danger.
Better fitted PPE needs to be redesign and more female or unisex friendly.

If the Government has the power to make sweeping reforms and support businesses, it has the power to tackle domestic abuse and stop women dying while locked in their homes 🔒 This is what @WEP_UK demands:
For some people lockdown means being locked in with an abuser. @patel4witham will you guarantee that no women fleeing abuse will be turned away from support services during #lockdownextension? @WEP_UK https://t.co/hs3CTaenya
Well written @lolaor
"It is not enough to simply wish for this all to end, because to return to normal would be a return to crisis. A world where black women’s talents and pain are ignored, or, at worst, our presence is criminalised, is a world to fear."

Women (and women of colour even more so) are still underrepresented in political leadership - so I can’t pretend it’s not disappointing that in 2020 the Labour Party has still not managed to elect a woman to its highest office, DESPITE a female dominated field.
My uncle had a fall he didn't have COVID19. He caught it in hospital and has now sadly died from COVID19.
Just a few weeks ago we buried his only Son. We are devastated as a family but I'm also angry.
Government needs to Test everyone who works in the hospitals without delay!
Many schools and nurseries are due to close on Friday, however, some nurseries are demanding payment during closure. STOP NURSERIES FEE!

Bittersweet feelings again. It took 80 women to topple this man and serious column inches. Here, we’re taking our own CPS to court next week for failing to deliver justice for almost all survivors of rape in the U.K.
With the progression of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, I have decided to postpone all Women Equality Events (canvassing/drop ins etc) to further notice.
Local and Mayoral elections have been postponed til 2021
Please follow the NHS guidelines pictured.
