31 years on from the first Sex Discrimination Act can you believe that women are still fighting for equal treatment in the workplace. It seems you’re not even safe at the top of the ladder or across the water. Latest victim Kim Osario former Editor in Chief of The Source, and first woman to hold the position, successfully sued the magazine and its founders for sexual harassment and gender discrimination. She was awarded a $15.5 million (£8 218 418) judgement on Monday (Oct 23).
Osario’s lawyer Kenneth Thompson summed up well when he said “This verdict shows that all women must be treated with dignity and respect, no matter what industry they work in.”
Way to go girl!
