A new report from the Fawcett Society claims politicians work in an environment that is 'more abusive than inclusive', and without urgent action, the situation will damage the UK's democracy.
Over two-thirds of women MPs have witnessed sexist behaviour in parliament over the last five years, according to a new report.
The society is calling for a number of changes to"create a more inclusive parliament", warning without"urgent action", the issues will further exacerbate the under-representation of women in Westminster, particularly of those from black and ethnic minorities or with a disability, and will end up damaging our democracy.
Politicians described it as an"all-encompassing job" and said the increased pressure on them due to the likes of COVID and public service crises showed the need for reform around how parliament works.
