@BelfastBre Can you address the recs for lone parents please @nirwnnews

[On Your Tod @Onyourtod]

@BelfastBre Would be really interesting to see a real living wage campaign for childcare workers here in NI. Accreditation should give appeal.

[On Your Tod @Onyourtod]

@BelfastBre Yeah our fsm threshold is much higher than England!

@BelfastBre Do we have a poster for belfasts March of the mummies yet?

[On Your Tod @Onyourtod]

We’re at the #crushedbyCOL event today in Stormont Assembly Buildings, what stands out most by the lived experience we’re hearing? They’re almost all single mothers worn down by the #colcrisis

These quotes from women show how women are struggling to afford the essentials and using debt to pay for these ⬇️

[Women's Support Net @WSN_NI]

Debt repayments and the struggle to make ends meet meant that over a third of the women @WRC_NI spoke to had needed to use a foodbank ⬇️

[Women's Support Net @WSN_NI]

'Women Living with Debt' research by @WRC_NI found that many women were struggling to meet their debt repayments or had missed repayments ⬇️

The #CostOfLivingCrisis will make this even more difficult for many.

[Women's Support Net @WSN_NI]

'Women Living with Debt' research by @WRC_NI shows many women borrowed from friends/family⬇️

This informal borrowing, often for small amounts is important but often unseen - we are concerned the #CostOfLivingCrisis will impact on the ability of family/friends to lend

[National Energy Action NI @NEANIreland]

New study finds up to 45% of NI households are now struggling with #FuelPoverty (spending more than 10% of income on energy).

We worked with @LucidTalk to ask NI householders about the impact of rising energy prices. Throughout the week we will be detailing the findings.

[Women's Support Net @WSN_NI]

"Between 2002/03 and 2019/20 the risk of living in very deep poverty has.....increased by a third for people in lone-parent families, to reach 19% or 900,000 people." The majority of lone parent families are #women

@KellieTurtle Also might be earlier references in Marxist and critical race theory.

[On Your Tod @Onyourtod]

@KellieTurtle I feel like you could find early references to it in Black feminism - certainly Angela Davis, Ruth Wilson Gilmore and Mariame Kaba talk about that idea in relation to settler colonialism/racist capitalism and abolition of prison - the CJS does exactly what it was designed to do.

[On Your Tod @Onyourtod]

This is such an important issue. Many of our members have escaped DV, only to continue experiencing abuse via the Child Maintenance Service and the hostile family court system. Our systems for protecting women and children are broken. Follow link to participate in this project 👇
