On average we earn a fifth less than young men of the same age – if we’re racially minoritised, that gap is even bigger. This isn’t fair. Politicians have the power to help close this gap. Sign our manifesto: action.youngwomenstrust.org/… We need to be heard. #SheVotes24

There have only ever been 564 female MPs – all together they wouldn’t even fill the House of Commons Chamber. We want the next government to take action to achieve a #GenderEqualParliament. If you agree sign our pledge & share this post. Sign: bit.ly/4aaOXw6 #SheVotes24
