Today it is widely believed that feminism has achieved its aims, and that women and men have achieved equality. But do the facts support this? Only 5% of reported rapes in the UK result in a conviction. Women make up less than 20% of the world’s parliamentary members. And two thirds of the world’s illiterates are women. Kat Banyard, The Equality Illusion, and Abi Grant, Words Can Describe, make an important contribution to the debate.
Chaired by Ceri Goddard, Chief Executive of the Fawcett Society, the UK’s leading campaigner for women’s rights.
