The generalization about single parents as ‘benefit scroungers’ or ‘bad mothers’ is very degrading and untrue specially for those living in the U.S. this labels hurt.
Because of this a Let’s Lose The Labels Campaign was launched by Gingerbread, a charity that is known to advocate against stigmatization of children born out of wedlock or “bastards”. They’ve been existing 92 years ago and now they are on the fight against the labelling of lone mothers and fathers as scroungers or bad parents.
Single parents are fed up with being portrayed as ‘benefit scroungers’ or ‘bad mothers’. We want to lose these labels in the run up to the general election and welcome support from party leaders as a first step.
Leaders of the three main political parties have signed up to a pledge to challenge prejudice against single parent families.
The campaign has gotten the pledge of three main political parties to sign up and challenge the prejudices against families of single parents.
