Project description

I wanted to write an article about the rise in gender equality and successes to date and then it struck me that as a dad of a gorgeous four year old little girl that my original article probably wasn�t in her best interests. Why? Being a 30-something white male in Australia, I have hardly ever experienced any discrimination for any sort of reason. Yet in my research I found gross levels ?of gender inequality that I had thought should have disappeared in the 70�s! I agree that women in leadership positions are low, but primarily because 30 years ago few women were encouraged to study. Most, including my own mother, were encouraged into administrative roles which offered income straight away and were seen to be �acceptable� or a �good option� for a woman who was expected to tend to the household once a husband or children came along. The good news - it is improving.
