Women
Family Support
Statistics : Did you know ….
Working Mothers
More than 3/4 of MOTHERS are now working.
Almost 8 in 10 companies still pay men more than women with more than a quarter paying female employees up to 20 per cent less.(Which is heightened due to women struggling with their work like balance, Guilt and lack of support in the formative stages of being a new mother.)
Unpaid work
WOMEN do SEVEN YEARS MORE of UNPAID WORK than MEN over their lifetimes. That’s about the time it takes to complete a bachelors and a master’s degree.
Mental Health
1 in 4 UK Mothers with children 0 - 16 yrs have a Mental illness
Just over 1/2 of UK children will have had a mother who has experienced mental illness by the age of 16.
Domestic Violence
Domestic Abuse will affect 1 in 4 women and 1 in 6 Men in their Life time. This leads to on average 2 women being murdered each week (104 women) and 30 men per year.
Accounts for 16% of all violent crime (Source: Crime in England and Wales 04/05 report), however it is still the violent crime least likely to be reported to the police
Has more repeat victims than any other crime (on average there will have been 35 assaults before a victim calls the police)

Carers
Life expectancy for women, went up by 4.6 weeks to hit 82.9 years, which means that women have additional caring responsibilities for elderly relatives.
Every year over 2.1 million adults become carers and almost as many people find that their caring responsibilities come to an end. 3 in 5 people will be carers at some point in their lives. The vast majority of care in the UK is provided by family and friends, who make up the UK's 6.5 million carers.
Carers save the economy £132 billion per year, an average of £19,336 per carer.

In Work Poverty
Over the last five years, in-work poverty has risen as reductions in benefit levels have left low-income families with little protection to cope with low growth in their earnings.
The Joseph Rowntree Foundation said that while paid employment reduces the risk of poverty, about 56% of people living in poverty in 2018 were in a household where at least one person had a job, compared with 39% 20 years ago.
Seven in 10 children in poverty are now in a working family, the charity’s annual UK poverty report found.
Single-parent families have been the worst affected by the trend of wages falling behind living costs, it added. Working single parents accounted for three in 10 households in poverty in 2018, compared with two in 10 in 2011.
What you need to know
The rising proportion of workers being pulled into poverty is preventing record employment rates from helping those people escape poverty's grip.
Raising the minimum wage isn't a substitute for a decent social security system and action to reduce housing costs.
Alongside action to raise hourly pay, we need to enable people in low-income families to work as many hours as they would like to.

Homelessness
According to the latest Government figures, collected in the autumn of 2019 and published in February 2020, 4,266 people are estimated to be sleeping rough on a single 'typical' night. Further information on the data collection methodology can be found here.
280,000 people in England are homeless, with thousands more at risk
New figures from Shelter reveal 280,000 people are recorded as homeless in England, an increase of 23,000 since 2016 when the charity first published its landmark annual report.
Shelter’s extensive analysis of official rough sleeping and temporary accommodation figures, along with social services records, shows that in one in every 200 people are without a home. For the first time, its review of government data has also exposed that close to 220,000 people in England were threatened with homelessness in the last year.

Food Bank
Between 1 April 2019 and 31 March 2020, the Trussell Trust's food bank network distributed 1.9 million three-day emergency food supplies to people in crisis, a 18% increase on the previous year. More than seven hundred thousand of these went to children.
1 in 7 people at food banks are in employment, or live with someone who is – the majority of that work is part-time. We know many people at food banks are single parents or have a health issue – two things that not only put particular pressure on budgets so make people more likely to need food banks, but also make it harder to access the work place, and stay in it.

Bullying
A fifth of young people in the UK have been bullied in the past 12 months, an annual report has found.
Three out of four people who were bullied said it affected their mental health and nearly half became depressed as a result, according to the study by charity Ditch the Label.
The seventh annual survey found:
The most common type of bullying was verbal, with cyberbullying the least common
Of those bullied, 33% said that they had suicidal thoughts, while 41% were left feeling anxious
Some 62% were bullied by a classmate and 37% by someone at school they did not know
Nearly two-thirds (59%) believed attitudes towards their appearance were the likely cause of bullying
In the majority of cases, male respondents were more likely to exhibit negative attitudes than females
Stop and search
Police data for England and Wales routinely show that black people are stopped and searched by police at more than 10 times the rate of white people. Police in Dorset are 25 times more likely to stop black people than white people.
This disproportionate focus on people from black and minority ethnic groups cannot be explained by offending rates: drug possession (mostly of cannabis), for example, is a key driver of stop and search, yet white people use drugs at a higher rate than people from black and minority ethnic groups .
