Bristol women talk about how the cuts are affecting them
Platform 51 features on The Politics Show West
Platform 51 Bristol appeared on The Politics Show West on Sunday as part of a feature discussing how the cuts are affecting women in the West.
The feature interviewed a mothers group, the Bristol Fawcett society and Platform 51. The women from Platform 51 Bristol explained to the BBC how they are feeling and how they have been affected.
Marisa said: "Women are being paid less for doing the same thing as men ... Why, I don't know."
Jemma said: "I'm struggling to keep my house warm. I've got two children ... I've got very few Christmas presents, as its either heat the house or have a good Christmas."
You can view the BBC Politics programme on the BBC iPlayer. The feature is 43 minutes into the programme.
