➡️In 2023 we provided tailored support to over 83,000 women, our work was raised in Parliament 29 times, we secured £1.4m who experienced discrimination and our campaigns appeared in the press over 2870 times
➡️In October 2022 we organised the March of the Mummies, a national protest where 15,000 parents marched across 11 cities in the UK to demand Government reform of childcare, flexible working and parental leave. The march has been credited with triggering a national conversation about how the system is failing parents
➡️Also in 2022 our work was mentioned in Parliament every 10 days, we secured £1.3 million for the women we support and we provided 70,000 women with free legal advice and support
➡️In 2021 we took the Government to court for indirect sex discrimination due to the way the self-employed income support scheme had been calculated. In the Court of Appeal we won and proved that the scheme discriminated against mothers in the way it was calculated
➡️During the pandemic we successfully campaigned for:
– Childcare bubbles
– Excluding under 5s from the rule of 2 people meeting
– A grant for parents on low incomes who were forced to stay at home if their child contracted Covid
– The prioritisation of pregnant women for the covid vaccine
– Partners to be given access to pregnancy scans and labour wards
