WHAT IS GENDER INEQUALITY?
According to definition, “Occupational inequality is the unequal treatment of people based on gender, sexuality, height, weight, accent, or race in the workplace.” However, each person has a different definition according to their surroundings. More specifically in the workplace, gender inequality is the unfair treatment or favoring of one gender over the other. Emma Watson provides her opinions as a voice that was unheard.

WHAT WOULD OUR WORLD BE LIKE WITHOUT GENDER INEQUALITY?
The effects that gender inequality has today in our world are countless, however with that being said, our world would be drastically different if we got rid of it. One example being wage gaps. There would be no wage gaps based on gender, only base doff of the level of your jobs. And speaking of level of occupation, higher roles would be given to both genders not specifically males. This would create an equality in the higher roles leading to a range of mixed opinions portrayed, rather than specifically one gender’s opinions. Aside from wage gap, there would be less discrimination in general. Sources above say that women often face harassment or other forms of inequality in the office or workplace. Without gender inequality this wouldn’t be a problem. Ellen Pompeo, the fourteen season Grey's Anatomy actress, is interviewed by Ellen DeGeneres.
