The oppression of any of us is the oppression of all of us! The end of oppression will liberate us all!
Our pledges to women:
Demand the inclusion of eliminating violence against women and girls in the comprehensive, community led and fully funded plans to reduce crime we have mentioned in our ‘working together to solve the problems which affect us all’ pledges.
Work to demand Parliamentary action on the disgrace of minimal prosecution rates for rape and to establish a programme in secondary and further education aimed at eliminating rape and sexual violence within society.
Work with others to push for the full decriminalisation of abortion.
Push for more effective legislation and action in parliament and trade unions on eliminating the gender pay gap.
Demand the creation, and full funding, of community owned and operated networks of high quality and well paid laundrettes, child care facilities and cleaning services to reduce the massive amount of unpaid labour a lot of people, especially women, are expected to do.
Raising children is one of the most important jobs in the world we will call for the creation of a system by which those who are unable to work due to needing to look after their children, more often than not women, can be paid for the caring and domestic work they do.
We will push for mandating at least 9 months fully paid parental leave for both parents after a child is born, as well as 3 months before a child is born.
The better funding and wider provision of all healthcare facilities, including mental health care, with regards to pregnancy.
Push for legislation to mandate policies to end sexism in all workplaces, institutions and organisations.
