Our latest Station of the Nation report highlights that poverty across Wales is increasing – and women’s unequal position in society means they are more vulnerable.

The new Welsh Government must ensure that the new expansion in childcare effectively supports families on the lowest incomes.

Progress on gender equality in Wales has stalled - & women are paying the price.

The new State of the Nation report from WEN Wales reveals rising pressures from caring responsibilities, economic inequality, barriers to leadership, & ongoing violence against women.

Political representation for women in Wales varies across parties.

But we don't have the full picture - we’re missing key diversity data.

If we don’t count it, we can’t change it.

Parties must publish this data.

We welcome the Family-Friendly & Inclusive Parliament Review.

It’s encouraging to see so many of the changes we’ve long called for reflected.

From childcare to tackling harassment and improving representation, we know what needs to change.

Now it’s time to turn these recommendations into action.

This #InternationalWomensDay, we’re asking: what does justice mean for women & girls?

Rights only matter when they’re embedded in law and enforced.

That’s why we’re calling for CEDAW to be enshrined in Welsh law.
