A THIRD OF WOMEN TRAPPED IN RELATIONSHIPS DUE TO FINANCIAL ABUSE
You might not have known this, but yesterday was the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. New research that was conducted as part of the events to mark the day have revealed that a third of women feel that they are trapped in a relationship due to their financial situation. This may be due to a number of issues including gender stereotypes in society. This is where males are normally seen as the bread winners in a relationship or family and go out in to the more high paying jobs which enable them to earn money for the rest of the family to ensure that they can afford the everyday items that they may need on a daily basis. This can include different varieties of food and drink which we all need to survive as well as the clothes which we all wear.

Public Urged To Get Involve In UK Disability History Month
Today marks the start of UK Disability History Month. This is a time when statistics are collected on the number of disabled people there are in the country as well as information to look at how different trends as to how they are affected through the employment system have changed over time. According to the latest data, there are just over five million disabled people in the country. People who have any form of disability, have always found some way of surviving in society. This could be through begging, employment or through charity or welfare. The number of disabled people has begun to increase in the UK workforce. This is due to the fact that there are increased forms of help and support which are on offer to make the work place a more accessible place for them to manage and be in. There are benefits such as Access to Work which provide funding to help make adaptations to different work premises to help make them more accessible to those with disabilities. Facilities such as ramps can be added to help those who are in wheelchairs enter or exit buildings which were before seen as a place which were out of bounds to them. This helps them to fulfil their full potential and earn a living for themselves to help them regain their independence.
