Campaign with us

There are 1 million young women in England and Wales struggling to live on low or no pay. Join us as we campaign for a fairer working future for young women.

Uplift young women: uplift benefits

1.5 million young women have lost income since the start of the pandemic with many claiming benefits for the first time. The £20 uplift in Universal Credit has been a lifeline, but those receiving Carer’s Allowance and other support didn’t benefit.

Now, young women are calling on the government to permanently increase Universal Credit, not just for 6 months, and to increase Carer’s Allowance permanently too.

Will you support them and sign the petition now?
