Barely Legal, Morally Wrong?
International Women’s Day
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of Barely Legal, Morally Wrong we use International Women’s Day as a springboard to ask a tougher question: are we making progress, or are we starting to slide backwards? We talk equal pay and the realities that still sit behind the headlines, the wider rollback of women’s rights in the US and what that signals culturally, and the quiet retreat from equality and diversity commitments in senior leadership. We also discuss whether quotas and positive action remain necessary tools, what “giving to gain” looks like in practice, and how childcare, parental leave and workplace dynamics shape confidence, opportunity and long term outcomes for women. Expect straight talking, real reflections and the final question we always ask. Was it barely legal or morally wrong.
