Gender Issues - UKGender inequality is a problem today that often goes overlooked. You may ask why this is
still a problem, or may not even see it as one. But with this I ask you all, what are some of
the inequalities that you see in gender? (Discussion). - correct answer-I think that the
problem is equality. Between men and women.
As seen in the UK:
• A man in the UK, but even worldwide, is still more likely to make more money than a
woman ranging from ten to thirty percent more, even doing the same job.
The full time gender pay gap is 10%, and the average part-time pay gap is 34.5%.
(http://ukfeminista.org.uk/take-action/facts-and-statistics-on-gender-inequality/) - correct
answer-• Men have a far better chance of entering political office or becoming a company
director. Women on average make up sixteen percent of the board of directors of the one
hundred most successful companies in London.
When looking at the political offices, women are outnumbering 5 to 1 by men in the cabinet
and 4 to 1 in the number of members of parliament (Broccoli, B. 2011). - correct answer-•
Men are less likely to be judged for promiscuous behavior, and have hardly any chance of
falling victim to sexual assault. Where as one in three girls have experience unwanted
sexual touching.
• Unlike the 30,000 women in the UK who loose their jobs annually due to pregnancy, there
would be virtually no risk to a mans career if he chose to become a parent, or became one
accidentally. - correct answer-The world has changed, but the numbers remain stacked
against us.
• Women are responsible for two thirds of the work done world wide, yet earn only ten
percent of the total income and own one percent of the property.
• Women spend an average of 15 hours a week on household chores where as men spend
around 5 hours on them. - correct answer-• It's not just about money and power, every year
seventy million girls are deprived of even a basic education, and a staggering sixty million
are sexually assaulted on their way to school, were afraid to walk the streets at night, yet
some of us are even more afraid to return to our own homes.
• At least one in four women are victims of domestic violence, and every week, two women
in the UK are killed by a current of former partner.
66,000 women in England and Wales in 2001 had been subject to Female Genital Mutilation
(FGM) and at least 24,000 girls were at risk of FGM in 2007.So, are we Equals? - correct
answer-Until the answer is Yes, we must never stop asking.
