It might seem like rehashing and bringing up the same subject again and again but after 30 years of legislation in the UK on equal pay/gender equality, we are still crawling along at a snail's pace and there is no justification for this.  So a new appraoch, a new narrative is needed?

Looking at the link, after 40 years of productive life, I have heard the very same words so many times, I absolutely despair, or scream.  

women to play an active role in civic and civil life.  WTF?  It´s the SSDD as I fought in the US.

They act like they are discovering the wheel, decade after decade, ruling party after ruling party,  knowing full well that they are perpetuating a bureaucracy or words that will be nothing but an obstacle to any possible progress.

I don´t see the subject as banging at all because it´s a half-humanity problem everywhere, even though I accept TBG´s point that we are all in this together vs. the exploiting elites, but women´s chances are even worse in all areas.

The point, IMO, is exactly the opposite: no new approach and no new narrative, but show me the job openings, show me the projects, show me the money, show me the numbers and stop giving conferences, press releases, announcements and nonsense about it! because they are just carbon copies of what was done and said 30 years ago.
