UN experts find level of discrimination against women in US “shocking”

Perhaps the most stunning revelations, is the sharp increase in maternal mortality rates in the US, according to the human rights experts. The ratio went up by 136 percent between 1990 and 2013.

Beyond the usual hype (wage gap etc) this stood out as an actual fact. The legislators need to stop taking the easy route (blame everything on men, then go back to sleep) and actually take effective action.

Holy Shit! Happy New Year! What a way to kick off 2016. Just when I thought the propaganda was at least leveling out this is going to add major steam to the Bullshit Train.

What makes them experts?

I wonder how they even survive there?

The gender wage gap is more than 20 percent, affecting women’s income throughout their lives, increasing women’s pension poverty. Again, women’s earnings differ considerably by ethnicity: Afro-American, Native American and Hispanic women have the lowest earnings

when will this goddamned myth end -_-

Another severe problem, according to the UN monitors, is wage theft, particularly in manufacturing, construction and some service jobs. This impacts low-income and migrant workers, in particular undocumented women.

Certainly this is something we can all oppose.

Reading the report, there are some genuine issues for women included, such as a lack of maternity pay and wage theft.

Most of them however revolve around the shitty (if you are poor) health system in the US which effects both genders equally.

Is this relevant to this sub in any way shape or form at all?
