The floodgates open: Women call lawyer Gloria Allred alleging “inappropriate contact by Mr. Trump”
It’s International Day of the Girl. A new report released by UNICEF finds that around the world girls spend 40 per cent more time doing unpaid domestic labor than boys.
“The overburden of unpaid household work begins in early childhood and intensifies as girls reach adolescence,” said UNICEF’s Principal Gender Advisor Anju Malhotra. “As a result, girls sacrifice important opportunities to learn, grow and just enjoy their childhood. This unequal distribution of labor among children also perpetuates gender stereotypes and the double-burden on women and girls across generations.”
