We're sorry for the delay getting this mailing to you. We have recently updated some of our IT and like all new things, have had to overcome some teething problems. We hope you had a restful Easter break and feel ready to continue the fight for gender equality. As restrictions start to lift for some, we're mindful of the extra burden this can place on women and the need to ensure women are at the forefront as we build back. You can read more of our research on the importance of ensuring a recovery plan that works for women. ([link removed])

Gender Pay Gap Reporting Deadline

Last week was the original deadline for gender pay gap reporting - when companies would have to report their gender pay gaps. While this has been delayed, early data suggests the gender pay gap continues to persist. After a year in which the Covid pandemic policy response has disproportionately impacted on women at work, we think employers should be doing everything they can to report report, to understand and to take action to address their gender pay gap drivers and reduce their gender pay gap. Read more about our work to secure equal pay.

Our response to the Sewell Report

The Sewell report failed to acknowledge the experiences of many racialised communities in the UK and failed to recognise the facts about the impact of institutional racism on them. We signed a joint letter to the Prime Minister, led by the Runnymede Trust, to reject the report and implement the recommendations of the long-standing Macpherson, Lammy, Marmot and Williams reviews. You can read our full response to the report here and some of the research that highlights the institutional racism faced by racialised communities. ([link removed])

Step Up Migrant Women need your help

Step Up Migrant Women are campaigning to make sure the Domestic Abuse Bill protects migrant women. There are three important amendments to the Domestic Abuse Bill which will give migrant women the support they need to ensure they are protected from abuse. We need MPs to support these amendments when the bill comes back on 15 April. Can you write to your MP and ask them to support these amendments to protect migrant women?
