The BBC has announced increased support for people in "real financial difficulty" to pay for the TV licence fee.
The support plan aims to reduce the number of women who are prosecuted for licence fee evasion following the BBC's gender disparity review which was set up to understand why 75% of those prosecuted are women.
The review, which was was overseen by independent adviser Baroness Lola Young, found the disparity is largely caused by societal factors and there is no evidence that TV Licensing deliberately discriminates against any group.
