“Theresa May’s silence on women’s issues has been deafening”

-Sophie Walker, leader of the Women’s Equality party

Theresa May, the second female prime minister of the United Kingdom and self proclaimed feminist has failed to address issues that are still facing women even in 2016.

It is almost impossible to ignore the sheer scale of sexism in politics. Although it may seem progressive to have a woman in power to some, its really not when she refuses to address something as crucial as the Gender Pay gap despite labelling it as a “key issue” on the steps of Downing Street before being swept into office following the Tory leadership election.
