Gender Equality in Legislation
Women need to be protected and created equal under the law
How To Sustain Gender Equality
- More countries need to act on legislation of the Australia in the 2012 Workplace Gender Equality Act: eliminate discrimination, equal pay and benefits, remove barriers of participation
- Every country needs to grant Women's suffrage
- There needs to be legislation to prevent and punish gender-based and domestic violence
- Inheritance laws that exclude women (ex: Saudi Arabia and other Middle Eastern Countries) need to be embargoed.
- Women in all countries must have an equal opportunity to get an education and be in the workforce.
On-Screen Representation
Even movies and TV shows discount females as being valuable members of the workforce or able to hold a prestigious job. What image is this implanting in the minds of young girls who dream to be a professional but only see men in the field?
Inequality Index
Higher scores indicate more inequality. A number that accounts for discrimination in health, education, legislative representation, labour market, and freedom of choice.
Inequality of Pay
This shows that more women get payed less. More Men get payed more. In other words, it is more likely for a man to get a higher wage than a female

Vote, protest, speak up! Without support from men and women alike, of all nationalities and social class, gender equality will never be reached. There are a lot of great minds out their that aren't given a voice or an opportunity due to their gender, let's go change that!
