The stark reality facing women and girls born in the North manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-m…

Tracy Brabin, Metro Mayor of West Yorkshire and Kim McGuinness, Metro Mayor of the North East have had their say after a new report details damning inequalities in health, vocation, and poverty faced by women living across the North: thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/24556934.…

There is so much in this report that should make anyone with the power to change things cringe in horror - not least, in my view, the chapter on marginalised women. (more to come on that). BUT - worth saying plenty of recognition for the North East and North Cumbria NHS women's health hubs, too.

This week Health Equity North has published the #WomanOfTheNorth report which reveals how women in the North work more hours for less pay, are more likely to be an unpaid carer & are more likely to live in poverty than women in other English regions.

Inequalities in unpaid care are also highlighted in today's #WomanOfTheNorth report. Women in the North contribute £10bn of unpaid care to the UK economy each year. This is £2bn a year more than if they provided the national average of unpaid care. tinyurl.com/5n6ccrpz
