the definition of equality is that
anyone of any race religion gender
sexuality is treated the same but there
is a twist
men and women are completely different
men are normally physically stronger
women can give birth men certainly can’t
so I appreciate that there’s a
difference between every single group of
people in fact every person so the water
I’ve decided to use is equity which
means fairness and impartiality in my
mind everybody should have a chance
despite these differences let me give
you a quick history check and how women
have gained some basic rights over the
past hundred years before 1918 women did
not even have the right to vote unable
to make vital decisions in the laws
affecting their lives such as the right
to work the right to education and the
right to divorce their husbands in 1918
a female group called the suffragettes
were formed their main principles to
fight for the right for women to vote
they popped took an extreme protests to
show how unfair and sexist the loans
were they did things such as attach
themselves to polls and and fast in them
in the streets finally they made a
victory they waited until the end of the
war and in 1918 women were finally
allowed to vote through the
representation of the People Act which
gave women over 30 the vote during World
War one and World War two many of the
men in Britain was sent off around the
world to fight for their country women
now had the chance to show you they
could do the mail jobs they worked on
farms in factories and in schools they
were now the men of England by 1951 the
number of working women have returned to
almost pre-war level there was even a
magazine called the house we’re keeping
monthly which published a very
interesting article could a good wife’s
guide this outlined 15 rules to help to
be the perfect wife the final tip was a
good wife always knows her place luckily
women did know their place they told
their daughters grandchildren about what
they had done during the war in the
1960s there were more jobs for young
thing
women and some were making it to
university having lived away from home
gaming higher education and financial
freedom many women wanted to have more
opportunities beyond being a mother and
a wife and a mother
women were gaining a voice my interest
was really sparked when I saw that
Carrie Gracie on the BBC had quit her
job to draw attention to the pay gap
many other presenters took pay cuts to
show how the pay gap Channel 5 is the
only broadcaster paid women better than
men Piers Morgan and presenter on the BV
ITV BEC breakfast show was being paid
more than his co-host he was doing
exactly the same job than him Mark
Wahlberg an actor in Hollywood was being
paid 1 million pounds to do reshoots for
a film his co-star Michelle Williams was
only being paid a thousand Frances
McDormand asked for an occlusion writer
in a in contracts to have equal pay
during movies Emma Stone is the
highest-paid actor and she’s been out
paid by 14 different male actors easyJet
has the big one of the biggest pay gaps
in Britain we were 51.7 and Sainsbury’s
bank with a forty five point three
between men and women let me give you
another example a female pro footballer
is being paid 10,000 pounds a week and
is paying playing every game in a season
a male pro is being paid a hundred
thousand pounds a week but his only play
playing 10 minutes a week who should be
payable finally there’s been a change
the government have asked for each
company to hand in a document showing
the pay gap and if they don’t do this
they will be prosecuted I thought that
this first world we lived in was fair in
spite of our differences but having the
same education experience and skill we
were all treated the same but there’s
still a battle to be won
thank you [Applause]
