Issues: Gender Equality?

Is equality between men and women still an issue in today’s society? Despite being closer than ever to achieving balance between the sexes, the answer is “yes”. Women are still more likely to be victims of domestic violence, there are still concerns surrounding the ‘gender pay gap’ and men remain the traditional ‘breadwinner’ of the household. This book explores the stereotypes surrounding gender, considers how society is changing and looks at the myriad inequalities between men and women.
