Our economic systems are racist and sexist: they put the needs and lives of women as the lowest priority, particularly where they’re also from other marginalised groups. On top of the pandemic and cost of living crisis, austerity measures cut services, jobs and rights that these groups rely on most –especially in low/middle income countries. This is a violent policy that means women are the last to eat, the first to be excluded from unaffordable schools, and their access to health and services shrinks as their care responsibilities grow.
