1/ WOMEN LIKE ME were born in a different era
Women like me were fed a set of rules on how women should behave and what they should expect to achieve in life
Women like me faced prejudice in education and opportunity
Women like me were restricted in our choice of jobs
2/ Women like me could not take a loan or a mortgage without husband to guarantor, in some cases not even open a bank account.

Health and Adult Social Care is facing gaps in provision due to increasing demand and need for social distancing
This puts great pressure on many, mainly women, to leave paid work or reduce hours to care for family
Areas in which women regularly plug gaps are not recognised Image
Unpaid caring is a benefit to the whole economy £132b/yr
There is currently insufficient support for carers, and lack of recognition of impact on financial stability both short and long-term through salaries & pensions
