Young women need to be heard. 📣
There are 9.5 million of us young women. And a million of us on are on low or no pay.
So young women have created a manifesto showing what we need for a fair deal at work, so we can reach our potential and thrive.👇

Young women earn a fifth less than young men each year, equating to £4,000 less annually. For some, the gap is even larger.
This election you can call for change and fight for fair pay: action.youngwomenstrust.org/…

Denying people access to housing is inhumane.
It seems trying to turn us against each other is easier than providing the social housing we as a country desperately need.
Let's build more social housing, not more division.

Luckily young women are amazing, and if change won’t come soon enough they’ll change things themselves (not that they should have to). So they’ve created their Manifesto for an Equal World of Work. youngwomenstrust.org/get-inv…

📢 Breaking news!
⚠️Our latest research reveals that the cost of living crisis is hitting young women harder, with the gap between young women and young men widening.
youngwomenstrust.org/our-res…
ALT 46% of young women told us that their financial situation has got worse over the past year
The cost of living crisis is going from bad to worse for young women and hitting them harder than young men - because they earn £5k a year less to start with.
@GMB highlights the problem as we release the cost of living findings from the @YWTrust annual survey today – at Greenwich, London
The cost of living crisis is widening the gender pay gap making women less financially stable according to a survey by Young Women's Trust. Almost half of young women think their finances worsened over the last year compared to around a third of young men.
