Brexit is a threat to women’s rights – we have to reverse this catastrophe

Today Rupa Huq MP is set to hold the government to account...

Progress on equality is at risk. Gender issues are at the back of a long Brexit queue but if we don’t fight for them, we lose, and we lose fast.

Some may have forgotten that we are mid celebration of women’s right to vote in Britain because it is awkwardly coupled with the thunder stealing topic on everyone’s lips: the calamity that is Brexit. So, let me remind those that, in the middle of this blurry celebration, Westminster owes it to us – the 50.7% of the British population who are women – to deliver when certain asks are made. One such ask will take place today, the day MPs return from holiday.

Diving straight into action, the effortlessly cool MP and champion of women’s rights, Rupa Huq MP for Ealing Central and Acton, is set to hold the government to account over women’s rights – specifically, “women’s rights at risk in Brexit Britain”.
