Join us on Zoom next Tuesday for the second of our #CoronaConversations online event series - 'Struggling to Survive: Women, Work and Welfare'

Hi Friend,

We would like to let you know that we have an additional panelist, Abene Oppong-Asare, for tomorrow night's event, Struggling to Survive: Work, Women & Welfare.

Women are more likely to be in low paid and insecure work, and existing inequalities, especially for BAME women, mean that they are being disproportionately impacted by the Covid-19 outbreak. Women still do the majority of unpaid care and school and nursery closures mean women are having to give up work or reduce their hours. On top of this, the majority of key workers in highest risk roles are women and with PPE shortages their lives are being put at risk.

ABENA OPPONG-ASARE, MP FOR ERITH & THAMESMEAD
PPS TO ANNELISE DODDS MP, SHADOW CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER

Part of the shadow treasury team, Abena has been assisting in developing Labour's economic policies and holding the Government to account over financial inequalities in the face of coronavirus. Abena is a member of the Housing, Communities and Local Government Select Committee and has been examining the impact of coronavirus on the homeless and private renters. She is also Chair of the Labour Women's Network.
