Gender Inequality

This is why Iceland ranks first for gender equality

A woman raises a finger to the air as she dances with others to the theme song of the "One Billion Rising" campaign in New York City's Washington Square Park on Valentines Day February 14, 2013. "One Billion Rising" is a campaign aimed to call an end to violence against women and girls. This date marks the 15th Anniversary of when V-Day was founded by award-winning playwright Eve Ensler and the One Billion Rising campaign is based on the statistic that 1 in 3 women will be beaten or raped in her lifetime according to organizers.
