I've just read Bristol Fawcett Society's report on the impact of the cuts on women in Bristol. You can download it here
http://www.bristolfawcett.org.uk/
It shows that the impact of public spending cuts in the areas of: employment, housing, incomes and poverty, education and training, violence against women, health, social care and other support services, legal advice services, women's voluntary organisations, and transport are likely to disproportionately impact on women in Bristol, and that the cumulative effect of the cuts have serious equalities and human rights implications for women in Bristol. It makes for very worrying reading indeed.
