So many issues that face us today as a country have a profound effect on women in particular: insufficient mental health care and adult social care, a benefit system that leaves many in poverty, the lack of good quality, affordable housing, and the casualisation of the workforce and the eroding of the rights of workers. The Women’s Conference is an important opportunity for all Labour women to discuss these and other critical issues. Women’s Conference is fundamentally weakened when it excludes a group of women who face significant misogyny, discrimination, and violence in society. I will work to ensure that women from across Labour have their voices heard, especially those that have been historically marginalised: intersectional feminism is key to a successful party.

I am a trade unionist, and am the Equalities Officer in my workplace branch of Unite. I’m also Women's Officer and Policy Officer in Ely and East Cambridgeshire CLP. I sit on my local parish council where I chair the personnel, finance and governance committee.
