A RALLY will take place in London’s Hyde Park on October 10 at noon to protest at the government’s refusal to change its plan to raise the pension age for women and to mobilise support in the campaign to defend women penalised by the changes.
Backto60, along with other campaign groups like Women Against State Pension Inequality (Waspi), argues against the inequality and unfair treatment of women born in the 1950s who have experienced changes to their state pension age.
The rise in the pension age from 60 to 65 and then 66 for women was far more drastic than for men, who faced a one-year rise in 2020, compared with a six-year rise for women.
