Hello there everyone.
Well, it is no news and nothing new for single parents and single mothers in particular.
Guardian headline today
www.theguardian.com/business/2022/jul/04/half-of-all-children-in-lone-parent-families-are-in-relative-poverty
Mean income is btw - 40 K a year.
so half of that is 20K
My intention with this thread is to support the Single Parent Rights organisation - (which I have only just found out about today) - which advocates for Single Parents to be accorded Protected Status under the Equality and Diversity Act 2010.
Documents that 80 per cent of us have been discrminated against at work/with societal structures etc.
Makes sense to campaign on this and talk about it which is why I've put this in chat.

Well known single mothers in particular get blamed for a lot of society's misdemeanours. Time this changed.
I'm off to sign.
P.S. I am NOT a journo or a troll so please don't start with that one!
