Immense pressure on women during Covid-19 crisis – Marsha de Cordova

Marsha de Cordova MP, Labour’s Shadow Women and Equalities Secretary, commenting on The Fawcett Society’s findings on coronavirus and gender, said:

“Today’s findings show the immense pressure that women are under during this Covid-19 crisis – at home with their families and in the workforce.

“This crisis has exposed and amplified the underlying economic and social injustices faced by women.

“The Government must address the inequalities facing women in the workforce and fix our broken social security system to ensure that no woman is forgotten or left behind.”
