Iceland: Women strike over inequality

World Business Report

Available for over a year

Women across the Nordic island, including the Prime Minister Katrín Jakobsdóttir, are on strike over equal pay and gender-based violence. It's the first full-day of action like this since 1975 when it led to an equal pay law being introduced the following year. Rahul Tandon will hear from a protest about why more still needs to be done. (Picture: Iceland Prime Minister Katrin Jakobsdottir at the Chancellery in Berlin, Germany, March 19, 2018.
