International Womens Day support message

Speakup are a self advocacy group in Rotherham for adults with learning disabilities. They have recently been learning about human rights and because of International Women’s Day on 8th March they focused on the issues for women flower workers making flowers out of tissue paper and pipe cleaners. Here is their message of solidarity to women workers:
We think women who pick flowers in Africa are not being treated equally and not valued for what they do. We support you and hope things gets better and your human rights get better. We think supermarkets in England should give more money to women who pick flowers
