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.

A graphic that reads: State of the Nation. Women’s poverty in Wales is on the rise.

A graphic that reads: The percentage of single women in poverty increased from 20% (2024) to 23% (2025).

A graphic that reads: Poverty in single parent households increased from 39% (2024) to 45% (2025). Most single parents in Wales are women.

A graphic that reads: What needs to change? The new Welsh Government must mobilise the action and resources needed to end women’s poverty. This includes ensuring women can access better paid jobs, and ensuring the new expansion of childcare is flexible and affordable.

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. Find out how: wenwales.org.uk/wp-content/u... @cavendishcymru.bsky.social

Graphic reads: women are underrepresented in the upcoming senedd elections. 38% are women. But there's a deeper problem, too: we're missing important diversity data.
