Why in News:
- Iceland has been ranked first in the World Economic Forum’s global gender gap rankings for 14 consecutive years.
- Despite the ranking, women in Iceland are protesting inequality, with even the Prime Minister participating.
Details of the Protest:
- It is named “Kallarðu þetta jafnrétti?” (You call this equality?).
- Women are refusing to engage in any work, both paid and unpaid.
- The strike aims to address women’s underpayment and gender-based violence, highlighting both as manifestations of seeing women as lesser beings.
