“Gender inequality is one of the most persistent evils of our times” is an article written by the Prime Minister of Iceland, Katrin Jakobsdóttir. Iceland is very well known as a country that has had much progress when it comes to gender equality. However, when it comes to the “Me Too” movement, Jakobsdóttir thinks otherwise.

Her article brings light to the effects of gender inequality and how prevalent it could be even when you least expect it.
