Gender Equality at Its Best

Women in Iceland are breaking traditional gender roles, owning businesses, and challenging stereotypes. The World Economic Forum has named Iceland the most gender-equal country in the world for nine consecutive years. Half of Iceland’s parliament members are women, and the country has had a female president for two decades out of the last half-century.

Even Iceland’s street signs show women working on the road and it was the first country in the world to have a gender-neutral parental leave policy. In 2018, Iceland passed a law requiring companies to prove they are paying men and women equally for the same job, a feat still under struggle in most countries.
