Leanne Wood Member of the Senedd for the Rhondda

The Member of the Senedd for the Rhondda has said more needs to be done to create an equal society in Wales after a report showed coronavirus has disproportionally affected certain people.

The Rhondda MS has called for the Welsh and UK governments to take into account the impact of coronavirus on women.

The Rhondda AM has called for more PPE designed specifically for women to become available.

International Women’s Day is a day of celebration across the world. It’s a day to come together to mark the achievements and successes of women, often in adverse conditions, in all spheres. It is not just a time for celebration - it is also a time for reflection; a time to realise that there is still so much to do to achieve gender equality.
