The new government has committed to a child poverty strategy, which will be a centrepiece of efforts to tackle rising levels of child poverty. But what should this strategy focus on?

This event will focus on what can be done to close the unequal challenges and inequity women in the North face compared to those in the rest of the country. Women in the North are more likely to live shorter lives in poorer mental and physical health and to work more hours for less pay. On top of this, they are more likely to be an unpaid carer, live in poverty and to have fewer qualifications.
