SIM Ep 351 IWD20 6: Vivienne Hayes and the Women's Resource Centre

For this, the International Women’s Day Eve episode in our series of IWD 2020 interviews, Mick caught up with fierce feminist, relentless activist and CEO of the Women’s Resource Centre, Vivienne Hayes. They chat challenging systemic sexism, class, the power of solidarity, the vital importance of women’s spaces and Pay Back The Tampon Tax – the Women’s Resource Centre’s excellent campaign for the government to give the cash raised by VAT on tampons and sanitary pads to the women’s sector. Which it promised to do. Then didn’t. No, we're not surprised either. It’s a campaign well worth getting behind, we're sure you’ll agree, and you’ll find ways to get involved at www.wrc.org.uk.
