International women's day

Celebrate women, but keep them safe too. Women aged 21-28 in financial hardship are > 3x more likely to report severe partner abuse. These are the same women that too often face homelessness and/or poverty if they choose to leave. Accessibility to welfare must be increased to equip women with the resources they need to keep themselves safe. A step in the right direction: get rid of the partner income test. A welfare system rooted in misogyny traps women in unsafe situations. We cannot ignore social security in the fight to end violence against women.
