What about your kids?' Can you guess the difference between the two? These comments are the reality for Dr Sabrina Cohen-Hatton and many other women at work and in life. Gender biases stop women from succeeding - but why are certain qualities associated with success viewed less favourably for women?

In 2012, two weeks before her thirty-second birthday, Jo Cheetham attended her first ever protest and it changed her life for ever. She didn’t consider herself especially political or assertive. She often apologized to people who barged into her on the street and was too polite to tell the man at the pub that he’d been calling her the wrong name for two years. Her days were ‘filled with routine, boredom and the occasional panic attack’. But soon after that first protest she joined the No More Page 3 campaign team.

On the dawn of 16 July 1990, Liliana Rivera Garza, Cristina Rivera Garza’s sister, was murdered by her ex-boyfriend and subsumed into Mexico's dark and relentless history of femicide. She was a twenty-year-old architecture student who had been trying for years to end her relationship with a high school boyfriend who insisted on not letting her go.

La reflexión sobre la condición femenina es urgente en nuestro tiempo.Nunca hasta hoy hemos estado más cerca de comprender la igualdad de valor entre los sexos. Y nunca nos hemos encontrado más alejados y confundidos, al convivir en una cultura que niega el valor de la diferencia. Precisamente en esto reside la paradoja de nuestro mundo.
