6 7Women’s Week
Celebrating Women’s Achievment
Dr Mary Murdoch (1864-1916)
‘Standing on an almost limitless shore, we can see, coming slowly in, the great rolling waves
which go to make the inevitable high tide of women’s progress, kept back often by seemingly
impossible rocks and creeks, but still coming on. And no one can keep it back.’
Chloe Hart
At Citizens Advice Hull and East Riding we see first hand, that despite many positive changes
more work needs to be done to end gender-based discrimination and achieve gender parity.
Every day we advise women hit by policies and practices that make them worse off. We are a
voice for these women and campaign on the big issues that affect them.
Hilary Clinton
“I believe that the rights of women and girls is the unfinished business of the 21st Century”
