SUMMARY:Women\, Poverty and Equality in Tower Hamlets: Mind the Gap
DESCRIPTION:Saturday 17 December  2022 / 10:30 am to 12:30 pm via zoom
 \n\n\n\nWomen\, Poverty and Equality in Tower Hamlets: Mind the Gap \nAcc
 ording to recent statistics from the government\,5.13 million women in the
  UK aged 16-64 were economically inactive in October-December 2021\, 24.7%
  of women in this age group. This compared to 3.64 million men aged 16-64 
 who were inactive (17.7%).  \n\nIn addition to the statistics\, women ha
 ve also seen an increase in redundancies\, unemployment\, and people claim
 ing unemployment benefits since the start of the pandemic. Mothers\, and w
 omen from minority ethnic groups\, have been particularly affected by the 
 pandemic. This means that women are most likely to experience poverty than
  men. Many are now unable to afford the essentials they need to live a dig
 nified life\, such as adequate clothing\, sufficient food for their themse
 lves and/or for their children\, or heating for their homes.  \n\nThis T
 H Women’s Network gathering will aim to address\, discuss\, and share ou
 r concerns as to why women are poorer than men? What can we do about it? H
 ow can we reduce the gap and get women living in Tower Hamlets  into well
  paid secure jobs? \n\nThe conversation will be facilitated by Inderjit S
 ohata\, from the Women's Resource Centre. Inderjit is passionate about mak
 ing a difference for marginalised communities which comes from her own lif
 e experiences and entrepreneurial roots. Inderjit has lived experiences of
  social injustices and inequalities as a woman from the Black and minoriti
 sed community. She has over 25 years of experience of leading work across 
 the Black and minoritised community and voluntary sector to embed and stre
 ngthen community cohesion. Inderjit has extensive experience of empowering
  women from minoritised groups\, instrumental in setting up a women’s ce
 ntre in the Midlands. To confirm your attendance at the gathering\, and t
