We were delighted to be joined by Jess Phillips MP, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Safeguarding and Violence Against Women and Girls and Metro Mayors, Kim McGuinness, Mayor for the North East, and Tracy Brabin, Mayor of West Yorkshire.
The discussions were informed by Health Equity North’s ‘Woman of the North’ report, which highlights significant disparities, including shorter life expectancy, lower income, higher rates of
unpaid caregiving, worse mental health, and increased exposure to domestic violence compared to women in other regions. These inequalities, exacerbated by austerity, the cost-of-living crisis, and systemic underfunding, demand urgent action.
