Winners and Losers ~ August 24, 2010

Posted 24 Aug 2010 by Walaa Idris

Great news the early arrival of Samantha and David’s baby girl, their fourth and the third born in Number 10 to a serving Prime Minster. Many warm congratulations and best wishes to the Cameron clan!

The loser is our inability, a decade into the twenty first century, to mirror girls’ academic achievements and successes in equal pay, equal recognition, and break that glass ceiling!

I’m happy for the Camerons and I’m glad that David is going to take some paternity leave to help care for the newborn. In an ideal world, I would have liked them to have more privacy at this time though. This much media attention is one of the problems with being Prime Minister.

I also hope that equal pay exists in all sectors one day. The problem is that it can be difficult (in some cases) to find out whether there’s inequality.

There’s one important thing to remember though. Even though not everything is equal yet, there has been huge progress in a number of areas over the years.

David, I know equal rights and opportunities have come a long, long way – but we still have a very long way to go, don’t you think!
