Shocking news about gender equality.
But not really.
“The biases result in barriers for women in politics, business and work, as well as the stripping away of their rights and human rights violations, said the researchers. Despite women being more educated and skilled than ever before, there was a 39% salary gap with men, they added.”
“This is truly alarming and explains why the world is completely off-track in achieving gender equality by 2030,” said Anam Parvez, head of research at Oxfam GB. “In 2021, one in five women were married before they turn 18, 1.7 billion women and girls live on less than $5.50 a day, and women continue to take on three times as much unpaid care and domestic work as men around the world.”

The whole reason MURK came to life is because we women know we get hired less likely for high paying jobs, paid less when we do get hired to do the same job, even when we are better at it!
This is why it is so important to be aware about our financial situation and educate ourselves & (female) loved ones.
