7. In the U.S.A
In the USA, women get paid less.
This may be because they don’t know
how to ask for fair pay or because an
employer thinks that a man can do it
better than a woman.

1. Unequal pay:
For decades, women
have earned more
bachelor’s degrees,
master’s degrees, and
doctorate degrees than
men. Yet women in the
U.S. workforce still earn
less than their male
counterparts

January 2018 by the nonprofit Stop Street
Harassment found 38%of women have
experienced sexual harassment in the workplace,
and 81% reported experiencing some form of
sexual harassment in their lifetime, including verbal
or physical assault.
3. Sexism: Women’s Policy Research found that
Asian women have the highest median annual
earnings and are compensated $46,000 per year.
White women follow at $40,000, while Native
American and Hispanic women have the lowest
pay, earning $31,000 and $28,000 per year.

men: Women make up less than 5 percent of
CEOs and less than 10 percent of women are
top earners.
5. Fear of asking to be paid what you’re
worth: For women, negotiating pay is often
viewed as being greedy or desperate, which
leads to hesitation when it comes to asking
for their worth in the workplace.

many women the opportunity to live happy, healthy,
and fulfilling lives.

contributes to 74 million unplanned
pregnancies and 36 million
abortions every year

become child brides between 2011 and
2020.

solve gender
inequality?

17. The Solutions ….
1. Talk to women and girls: Make sure women and girls’
voices are heard and promoted in global and national decision-making.
Women also should not bash other women. Girl bashing should stop. It
is not good for anyone.

18. 2. Make education gender sensitive:Make sure textbooks and
curriculum promote positive stereotypes for both genders.
3. Empower parents: Establish parental rights that are equal for men
and women. Paternity and maternity leave exist in countries like Sweden that treat
parents equally.
18

19. 4. Give proper value to ‘women’s work’: Equal pay based on
skill, education and what someone brings to the workplace. Pay should not be
based on gender.
5. Work together: If we want change, everyone must do their part. Our
government, the people and our communities.
