男女在這些方面依舊不平等大綱

本文已影響 1.68W人 

Pay gap

薪資差距

One the biggest areas in which men and women are still not equal is wages. Research from the Pew Research Center shows that women earned only about 82 cents for every dollar their male counterparts made in 2017. This means a woman would have needed to work an extra 47 days to earn what men did.

男女不平等現象依舊存在的最明顯表現爲:工資不平等。皮尤研究中心的研究表明,2017年,男性每賺一美元,女性只能賺82每分。這意味着女性還得再工作47天,其收入才能達到男性水平。

Parental leave

育嬰假

Another area in which men and women are still not equal is parental leave. Not only do men get less time off to spend with their newborns than women do, but they are also judged more harshly by their colleagues for taking time off.

男女不平等還體現在育嬰假方面。相比女性,男性的育嬰假更短,陪寶寶的時間也更短,而且同事對於男性修育嬰假的態度也更爲苛刻

Workforce participation

勞動力比例

Research from the United States Department of Labor has found that just 57 per cent of working-age women participate in the labor force, compared to 70 per cent of working-age men.

美國勞工部的研究發現:只有57%的勞動適齡女性有工作,相較之下,70%的勞動適齡男性堅守在工作崗位。

男女在這些方面依舊不平等

The "pink tax"

"粉紅稅"

Most consumers probably aren't even aware there is a "pink tax" on many products and services, such as dry cleaning, personal care products, and vehicle maintenance. On average, women are charged an extra $1,350 per year for the same things that men buy.

大多數消費者可能都不知道很多產品和服務都存在"粉紅稅",比如干洗、個人護理產品和車輛維護。平均而言,女性每年在這些產品上交的稅要比男性高出1350美元。

Access to education

教育

Around the globe, approximately 62 million girls don't have access to an education, and millions of others are fighting to stay in school as they get older.

全世界範圍內,大約有6200萬名女性無法接受教育,另外還有100多萬名女性隨着年齡的增長,正拼盡全力獲得繼續上學的資格。

Expressions of emotion

情感表達

It's 2018, but it's still not considered socially acceptable for men to express their emotions. Recently, a video of a pair of professional baseball players went viral because it showed the close friends being affectionate during a game. Hateful comments were made about the players' public display of affection. Whether it's affection or sadness, men aren't often afforded the opportunity to express how they feel.

現在是2018年,但社會還是不認可男性自由地表達情感。近來,關於一對職業棒球運動員的視頻火了,因爲視頻上的這對摯友在一場比賽中互生情愫。這對運動員公開示愛之後,惡毒的話語接踵而至。不管是愛慕還是悲傷,男性通常都沒有機會表達自己的感受。

Human trafficking

人口拐賣

This isn't one of those areas where equality is needed, but it's important to note that women and girls are unfairly targeted for human trafficking and exploitation in the sex trade.

當然,我們並不希望男女在人口拐賣方面實現平等,但注意到這一點很重要:婦女和女孩是人口拐賣的重點目標,也是性交易中被剝削的對象。

Sexual assault

性騷擾

Women are more likely than men to fall victim to sexual assault. In fact, statistics released by the Pentagon in 2013 showed that American women serving in Iraq or Afghanistan were more likely to be raped by a comrade than killed by an enemy.

相比男性,女性更容易被性騷擾。事實上,五角大樓於2013年發佈的數據表明,在伊拉克和阿富汗服役的美國女性被同志強姦的機率比被敵人槍殺的機率更大。
