The Work and Pensions Secretary Amber Rudd is to promote women’s interest at a political event in Rome where she is discussing the UK’s record female employment and the role of women in politics. Rudd is scheduled to meet with the Young Women’s Network and hear about how they are empowering young women and promoting their role in society while also encouraging them to build their careers through a supportive network and mentoring programme.

Secretary of State for Work and Pensions Amber Rudd said:
”For women’s interests to permeate all aspects of business, politics and finance we must have more women around the table making the decision that matter. The best way to improve participation is to work together and I want to work with our European partners to improve the prospects of women and girls everywhere.
The UK and Italy enjoy an incredibly strong relationship. We are long-standing partners and our relationship will continue to go from strength to strength.
