Improving the financial situation for women

Rosa wants more women to enjoy economic stability and success in their lives.

It’s amazing that today, in the UK, your sex still determines your wealth, employment, access to goods and services, as well as capital and credit. And yet it’s true.

And the more disadvantaged your background, the truer it is.

More women than ever before in the UK are earning – but are still earning less than men (even if they’re doing the same job). They also lose out when it comes to moving up the career ladder, or flexible working options.

Girls from poor backgrounds find it hardest of all to get ahead. And lack of affordable childcare keeps hundreds of thousands of talented women out of the job market altogether.

But with some inspired thinking, we can change things.  

Initiatives like Women Like Us  show that – with the right financial backing at the right time – an inspired idea can become a great project that benefits everyone – women, families and employers alike.    

With your support, Rosa will invest in initiatives like this that help create a more even playing field of opportunity for women.
