The Independent provides timely reporting on essential issues, including reproductive rights and climate change. Their commitment to accessible journalism without paywalls has garnered trust across the political spectrum. Recent controversies include B&Q's apology for a gender-insensitive advertisement regarding a storage unit, a move criticized widely for being outdated and offensive. In contrast, B&Q has also actively promoted women's involvement in trades through their 'Do The Lift Thing' campaign, highlighting barriers faced by women in these professions.
Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights.
B&Q was forced to apologise after it advertised a storage unit as easy to assemble even if you are a girl, causing public backlash.
The DIY shop listed a flatpack bamboo bathroom shelf on its website with the information: 'Easy to assemble the cabinet even if you're a girl'.
It comes after the DIY shop launched a Do The Lift Thing campaign to showcase tradeswomen breaking down barriers, encouraging women's participation in trades.
