How far have British women come in their journey for equal rights? A new survey gives a mixed picture .
The pollwas done to celebrate the 100th anniversary of International Women'sDay, which is today. It was commissioned by a group of UK charities andover 1,000 adults were interviewed by Ipsos MORI.
The survey found that although chauvinism is still an issue for many young women, most females do not feel a lack of job opportunities is a major problem.
Sixty per cent of women under thirty said they had experienced derogatory remarks or behaviour. But despite this, only one in five women describe themselves as feminists .
In another respects, the survey indicated that some progress had been made since British women first campaigned against discrimination in the workplace.
Cherie Blair: "We still have a long way to go."
Whenasked what they thought the biggest challenges facing British womenwere, 15 per cent of women respondents mentioned breaking into seniorjobs in business, 23 per cent cited the pay gap between men and women, but only six per cent of women cited sexism at work. Sixty-two per cent said that balancing their home and work lives was one of the biggest challenges.
CherieBlair, who runs her own charity helping women get into business, feelsthat women are still missing out on top jobs. She told bbcukchina:
"Therestill aren't enough women at my level for example. So I'm a seniortrial lawyer that we call Queen's Council, and still only 10 per cent ofQCs are women... So we still have a long way to go but we aredefinitely moving in the right direction."
