We'll revolutionise support in the workplace for women

Empowering women will make us stronger, fairer and more prosperous, writes deputy prime minister Angela Rayner

For the first time as deputy prime minister, I’m delighted to be playing my part in celebrating International Women’s Day. It’s an incredible privilege to be in this position, and I’ve certainly not arrived here on my own. Many people men and women have supported me along the way. In turn, that is a big thing for me: giving women the space and support to empower them to seize opportunities, like that promotion or new job, that so often feel out of reach.
