Fighting for Gender Equality

Gender inequality is still pervasive around the world -- and while the issue is many-faceted, and there's so much to be done, here we want to focus on what you can do specifically as an average person to contribute, in a small way, to gender equality.

Daily

• Raise awareness to the fact that gender inequality exists
• Show your support on social media platforms by posting data that clearly portrays gender inequality

Weekly

• Check for gender bias in the workplace — if someone is being treated unfairly, being underpaid because of their gender, speak up

Monthly

• Work to convince employers to use an unbiased interviewing method, where names and genders of the applicants are not included on the job applications (creates more equal opportunities for jobs)

Periodically

• Reflect on the role of gender in your life — try to identify and eliminate your subconscious biases
• Donate to the National Women's Law Center
