It’s not a cliché that we’re still talking about discrimination in 2018.

If we are to quote the latest Global Gender Gap Report , we haven’t progressed at all in the past ten years.

The UK joins Slovakia and the Czech Republic among the other EU states that had not produced any significant change in reducing the levels of inequality when it comes to income, education, health, workplace or political engagement.

Based on the current trends, it will take another century for the overall global gender gap to be closed, the study further shows.

Listen to the first episode of our new podcast, Faces of Discrimination, where we will be talking about ongoing conversations about discrimination that shouldn’t be forgotten. This one is on gender.
