Economic downturn: Women 'badly affected' says Bevan Foundation

The Bevan Foundation said cuts in the public sector had taken their toll, but the increase in pension age and welfare reforms were also a factor.

Victoria Winckler is the director of the Bevan Foundation, and Sue Jackson, from Newport, was made redundant by Gwent Police after 23 years as a station inquiry assistant in September 2012.

They spoke to Felicity Evans on BBC Radio Wales.
