    Women Against State Pension Inequality is a voluntary UK-based organisation founded in 2015 that campaigns against the way in which the state pension age for men and women were equalised. They call for the millions of women affected by the change to receive compensation.

      Women Against State Pension Inequality

      …campaigns against the way in which the state pension age for men and women were equalised

      The name and the description seem to be at odds with each other.

        Yep for decades women got to retire 5 years before men. In 1995 the law changed. Meaning that by 2010 all men and women wound need to wait till 65 to retire and claim state pension. Rather then the 60 women previously had.

        So yeah while the women may have paid pension payments since the 1950s expecting a earlier retirement then men. And as have some right to object to the decision and law changes.

        Inequality is a pretty pathetic claim and trully seems to insult the men treated unequally in this case.

        But let’s remember. Historically a lot of inequality for women including lower pay. Was far from made up for in that one reverse situation.
