International Women's Day

This Tuesday is International Women’s Day, when we celebrate women’s achievements and the victories women have won in the fight for equality. From the Equal Pay Act to the Sex Discrimination Act and the Equality Act through to the minimum wage and Sure Start, the Labour party has always stood up for women and driven the change they needed, while the Conservatives defended the status quo.

On international women’s day I want to thank all the womens’ organisations in my constituency who do so much fantastic work day in day out and in so doing help to #BreakTheBias

Gender equality today for a sustainable tomorrow.
