What changes can we make in our daily lives to address gender inequality?
We are looking for simple, yet impactful ideas that will benefit people across the whole island.
We experience gender inequality and discrimination in our homes and communities every day. Can you think of any examples? These may have to do with our personal and family life (e.g. house chores and child care), our professional life (e.g. pay gap) or political and civic life (e.g. lack of women in leadership and political representation).
