The article discusses the ongoing issue surrounding the Women Against State Pension Inequality (WASPI) campaign, where women born in the 1950s have been affected by changes to the state pension age. These women were not adequately informed about the increase in their pension age from 60 to 65, and later to 66, which has led to significant financial hardship for many.
