This would be a great government initiative

As International Women’s Day rolls around again, women can sit back, relax and reflect on all the amazing progress that’s been made in the past year.

Kidding!

Last year I wrote a piece on why we still need International Women’s Day. Sadly, these reasons all still apply. We’re still behind (or going backwards) in the gender pay gap; representation in the nation’s boardrooms; the orgasm gap and access to equitable healthcare.

This should be part of the Government’s second 100 day plan – to close the orgasm gap.

I’m not sure who would be the lead agency – Ministry of Health, Ministry for Women or the Social Wellbeing Agency. You could even have a cross-sector approach and include the Department of Internal Affairs, Ministry of Innovation etc. Maybe even the new Ministry of Regulation could examine this area.
