The article from the Mirror discusses the plight of the Women Against State Pension Inequality (WASPI) campaign, highlighting how around 3.8 million women born in the 1950s were affected by changes to the state pension age. An interactive map within the article illustrates the distribution of these women across the UK, showing that the highest number of affected women are in the South East, with significant numbers also in the North West, Scotland, and Wales.
