March against gender inequality!
Sat 10th oct 12 noon, Williamson Sq, all welcome!
Why we need gender equality:
In the UK:
• Each year, more women die from domestic violence and rape than
die from cancer. Two women a week are killed by a current or
former partner.
• More than half a million women experience domestic violence
each year.
• 1 in 4 women experience sexual assault. The UK currently has the
lowest rape conviction rates in Europe: out of every 100 reported
rapes, less than 6 cases end in the rapist being caught and
convicted.
• The pay gap between men and women has RISEN to 17.1% in full
time work, 36% in part time work.
Join us in a demonstration to promote gender
equality and end Violence Against Women!
