International womens day: Ensuring future equality in the face of Brexit #FaceHerFuture

Womens' equality has come a long way but it has further to go. The #MeToo movement over the past year has again highlighted gender inequality when it comes to sexual harassment in the workplace and emphasises a need for the strengthening of laws surrounding these issues. Currently only 1/3 of MPs are women and many STEM subjects see similar inequality. We have now entered our second year of gender pay gap reporting and unfortunately the numbers do not equate. In 2017 a report by the world economic forum predicted that it would take another 100years until the gender gap closes. Inequality is seen by many as a problem in the past. But as recently at 1991 rape in marriage was first considered a crime. Fawcett Society is the leading charity campaigning for womens rights in great Britain. They state: 'Our vision is a society in which women and girls in all their diversity are equal and truly free to fulfill their potential creating a stronger, happier, better future for us

Dreams and goals, Does it matter, Job wormhole, Up Corp ladder, Daily grind, Got to pace, chase, Who’s behind? Race to next place, Cannot fall, Job over joy, Feel so small, Future to destroy, All about money, What’s it all worth? Make me free, Short time on Earth. For all of you struggling to find your way/ a career in such a pressuring world. You are not alone. Lozzy
