“The Land of Fire and Ice:” Exploring the Wonders of Iceland
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.
