Asylum from rape & all other violence.
The immigration & Asylum Act is now in force. Women and children fleeing rape, other torture and even murder are being witch-hunted and imprisoned. Those of us with children who have to beg in order to survive are criminalised, but supermarkets profit from our vouchers.

Wages for caring work.
An end to the 40% benefit deducted from single mothers' Income Support.
Raising children is work – a basic contribution to society and the economy. But single mothers who refuse financial dependence on violent men are punished with a Ł20.56 a week benefit deduction. This Child Support Agency penalty is now being extended to women who breach community orders.

Debt to Third World women - we are owed much more than we owe.
While women are forced to work 18-20 hours a day for survival, the land and other resources are exploited for the global market and for the military, a major part of the market. Women are demanding abolition of 'Third world debt', non-polluting technology for every household and the right to asylum.

Pay equity internationally.
The market has made the lowest wages the global standard, using us against each other. All our work is valuable! We demand the same pay wherever we are, women and men, of whatever race and age. Women are also demanding paid maternity leave, breastfeeding breaks, affordable and accessible housing and transport.
