As an ageing population it is even more important to educate women on the equalities faced in later life through pensions and widows payments. The pension gap is now expanding along with the pay gap and is not recognised by Govts Pensions for widows are often aimed at older women rather than young widows from conflict for example. In addition many men who are lost in combat are not declared dead which leads to delay in pension or other payments. as well as the gap created by maternity leave, many women give up work earlier than male counterparts to take on more unpaid caring duties. Educating young women around accessibility and necessity of pension contribution is a core aim. For example the Work of the WASPI women in UK is ongoing and highlights the topic allowing for further conversation. Intersecting Blindfolds: – where the Government does not accept the needs of the poor they cannot interact in society an da poverty cycle is created from which they cannot escape. By educating women on their rights they challenge not only their right to pension but other community matters. Equal pay for Equal work needs to be challenged – as this also impacts potential pension. So called ‘soft’ jobs need to be evaluated against the actual skills required not out dated job titles. eg secretarial work when its a female – personal assistant when its a man . all NFA’s can take this to Govt’s to have proper job assessments.

About tackling the issues that having paramilitary imbedded in the communities cause. NOT about tackling the actual paramilitary member. 1171 is the start of English invasion and stripping lands; 1800s famine. thus starting Protestant Catholic conflict The1921 treaty divided the country leading to the troubles from the 1960s 1968 March against Catholic housing issues… (voting still not available to many) RUC (police) 'quelled' the disturbance. loyalists also demonstrated, and conflict started with RUC in the middle. Internment started without trial, with the majority being Catholic. Communities were segregated, and 1971 brought killings and protestants left the south. Catholics fled to the south. Many didn't recover and Theatre of Witness was set up to give women a voice. (Each woman in the room then stood and gave their lived experience – in their own words from those where were fighters to those who lost sons/husbands/neighbours and homes) a very powerful example of how the therapeutic nature of talking with those who could be seen as enemies gives women a voice. this type of inclusive event where women talk without judgement can be replicated in many areas of traditional war as well as conflict brought about by cultural difference (and for example the indigenous people trying to reclaim their roots or black lives matters campaign) look at how this style of event can be replicated in other...
