A report from the Women’s Budget Group and the Runnymede Trust assessing the cumulative impact of UK government spending cuts since 2010 on Black and minority ethnic women. It uses both quantitative distributional analysis and qualitative lived experience evidence to show how race, gender and income combine to produce compounded disadvantage. It is the first intersectional analysis of the cumulative impact of austerity using both qualitative and quantitative data.
