Organisers hope the women’s strike – whose confirmed participants include fishing industry workers, teachers, nurses and the PM, Katrín Jakobsdóttir – will bring society to a standstill to draw attention to the country’s ongoing gender pay gap and widespread gender-based and sexual violence.
Asking from third world countries, there is a gap between genders?
It’s huge in general but varies from country to country
Just a note: I don’t know what others say and what the mods prefer here, but I guess they’d agree there is no such thing as a “third world country”. Let’s call the continent or so and let us there be in one world :-)
As someone from a third world country living in a first world country, yeah the difference is still there and depending on where you are in the third world, it’s not decreasing.
