The possible costs of Brexit include further austerity and inequality. In turn, austerity has been linked with discrimination against women, equality-stagnation, and violations of children’s rights.

She argues that neither the leave or remain ‘side’ can take the lawfulness of austerity for granted, which is a burden disproportionately placed on women and children.
