Laura Bates: Everyday Sexism Project

It seems to be increasingly difficult to talk about sexism, equality, and women’s rights in a modern society that perceives itself to have achieved gender equality. When women or men complain about everyday sexism or suggest that you are unhappy about the way in which women are portrayed and perceived renders you likely to be labeled difficult or uptight.
Laura Bates, founder of the Everyday Sexism Project has spearheaded a global movement to raise awareness of the day-to-day experiences of sexism women have to endure.
Through the project, Laura has cataloged stories from hundreds of women detailing their experiences of sexism.

Solving inequality starts with tackling it. On this episode, Laura Bates will be joining us to discuss the project and how you can take action to eradicate everyday sexism.
