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.
