WE are experiencing a worsening impact of both austerity and racism. International Women’s Day is an important opportunity to remind us that women are disproportionately impacted by both.
As UN rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights Philip Alston, reporting on austerity in Britain, so aptly put it: “If you put a group of misogynists in a room and said: ‘How can we make this system work for men and not for women?’ they would not have come up with too many ideas that are not already in place.”
Estimates from the House of Commons Library show that between the start of austerity in 2010 and 2017, 86 per cent of the reduction in government spending was on spending on women.
