Cuts to social security are undermining women’s human rights. Since 2010, benefits have been cut in real terms and access has become more restrictive. Women—especially Disabled women, low-income women and women from minority-ethnic backgrounds—have borne the brunt.

@AmnestyUK stands with people with a disability in @Independent calling out the DWP consultation on #PathwaystoWork Green paper. It’s a sham and a disgrace that people aren't being consulted on the cuts to social security for people with a disability! www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Labour benefit cuts consultation labeled a ‘sham’ as PIP changes not up for debate
Campaigners have called the conversation a ‘sham’ as people are invited to discuss only half of the proposals

Consultation on #PathwaytoWork excludes #DisabilityCuts. Instead of listening to people with a disability they are leaving it to a parliamentary vote. What happened to nothing about us without us? Amnesty International Uk are supporting Disability Rights Organisations to demand answers.

The UN's damning verdict on UK poverty must inspire us to force change. Change won’t happen unless we stand up and demand it! Read my @amnestyuk.bsky.social opinion piece in the @bigissue.com 👇 www.bigissue.com/opinion/unit...

The UN's damning verdict on UK poverty must inspire us to force change
The United Nations criticised UK poverty rates and called for the DWP to scrap the two-child limit and benefit cap.
