❗Child poverty is not inevitable and it can be solved. One-parent families experience some of the highest levels of child poverty, which is mainly driven by systemic failures.
🗣Families cannot exit poverty without good State policies which address the root causes of poverty and deprivation.

🚼unable to access affordable or secure childcare, there will be child poverty.
✊We will never accept child poverty as normal or inevitable. We ask that you don't either
