laws against gender discrimination are being put in place, slowly In lieu of inherent societal structures that work to protect girls and women against discrimination, many nations are turning to the justice system in order to put in place robust laws that will see individuals, as well as companies, face consequences should they not meet the standards. But to date, only seven countries the world over have taken the steps needed to implement laws to support gender equality: Belgium, Denmark, France, Latvia, Luxembourg, Iceland and Sweden. But while some progress is always good (and this shift has only happened over the past decade), the pace the world is currently moving in toward gender equality and zero tolerance to discrimination is not enough. We need to come together to help all nations join the journey on the way to zero tolerance to discrimination. |
