Day was marked in the Metro (widely distributed free newspaper in the UK) by a
story on the gap between women and men in status, security and pay; a piece on
women starting up businesses being charged by banks 1% more in interest rates on
loans; and an article about a planned police crackdown on gangs who bring women
to Britain to sell as sex slaves. I noticed these because it’s Gender in the
Workplace week on my Language and Gender course.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">There are also a story
about a single mother who was told that her son is being taken off the waiting
list for a kidney transplant because she is too stressed to cope with the
transplant and caring for him afterwards (she says, but then he’ll die, God
forbid, and you’ll see how stressed I can be) and a piece mothers who are dying
needlessly around the world because they cannot get proper health care.
