Media Round-up for July 2024
- “Meet the Women Fighting For You”: We’re delighted to be featured in the upcoming ELLE issue as one of many collectives of women working to redistribute power and reimagine a more equal world, alongside the brilliant Young Women’s Trust, 50:50 Parliament and Foxglove Legal.
- Published as an exclusive, Prospect Magazine ran our new analysis that revealed that households in England with three or more children—those subject to the two-child limit—have been the most affected by austerity cuts to public services since 2010: The Two-Child Limit Is A Feminist Issue
- A Guardian piece highlighting the life of feminist pioneer and inventor of child benefit Eleanor Rathbone’s referenced our work on child benefit.
- In a column she wrote for Huck Magazine arguing for scrapping the two-child benefit limit, Labour MP Apsana Begum quoted WBG’s work on the policy.
- Writing for Refinery29, housing journalist and author Vicky Spratt featured our work on the gendered dimension of housing unaffordability: We Aren’t Leaving It Too Late To Have Children, We’re Being Screwed Over
- WBG’s Senior Research and Policy Officer Ignacia Pinto was quoted in a piece published in Investor’s Chronicle exploring the ‘single penalty’ women in particular experience: “We know being single has a price to it, and because women earn less on average than men, it’s even higher for them.”
- Our work on the gender pay gap was featured in a metro piece headlining: Rachel Reeves is the first female Chancellor – but women in finance have been trailblazing for years
- We also had two appearances on LBC this month: Our deputy director Dr Sara Reis was discussing falling birth rates with Shelagh Fogarty, stressing that it’s about giving families the ability to choose, and our director Dr Mary-Ann Stephenson was talking to Iain Dale about the two-child limit.
