Are women and men treated equally?
Here is some background information

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
SARAH LARSEN, REPORTER: These days we tend to think of boys and girls as being pretty much equal. You can both get an education. When you turn 18 you'll both be able to vote. You'll both be able to work in just about any field you want. And either one of you could become the prime minister. But it wasn't that long ago that the scales weren't nearly so even.

If you were a woman in the 1800's you couldn't have done the same things as men. Your main job would have been seen as getting married and having children. Then, everything you had would belong to your husband. You wouldn't even be allowed to vote. And it was in the late 1800's that many women started to demand change. They called them suffragettes.

REPORTER: Suffrage means the right to vote for politicians to represent you. In a democracy every vote counts and it means your opinion is just as important as anyone else's.

Some argued that women shouldn't be allowed to vote because they were too emotional and not smart enough to understand politics and that their place was at home. But the suffragettes fought hard to change their minds. They debated, wrote articles and petitions, protested, even faced arrest. And eventually it paid off.

REPORTER: It was in this building 119 years ago that the Government of South Australia became one of the first in the world to give women the right to vote and the first anywhere to also give them the right to run for parliament.

It was the first tip of the scales towards equality. The first and then the second world wars had a big effect on the role of women in society. With so many men called off to fight, women were asked to do all sorts of jobs they ever done before. Many enjoyed what they did. And they were good at it.

But when the war was over they were expected to go back to being housewives. They could learn, they could vote and they could work but women still weren't equal. They faced discrimination in the workplace and the media. They were generally paid less than men for doing the same job and were expected to stop working when they got married.

LINE FROM THE INDESTRUCTIBLE MAN: Just about an hour ago I had you fired. What? Why did you do that? I thought being my wife would take up all of your time.

In the 60's and 70's women again fought for their rights. There were some big revolutions like the birth control pill which meant women could control when they had children. Women protested for equal pay, equal opportunities, even the right to drink in bars with men.

And the world kept changing. Women led countries and businesses. They went to space and they were ordained as religious leaders. Australia got female judges and a governor general and three years ago the country elected its first ever female prime minister.

So do women now have equal rights with men? Some say yes. It's now against the law in Australia to discriminate against women. But others say not quite. On average women still earn less money than men. Fewer women run big companies and fewer sit in parliament.

And some reckon women are still judged differently to men. But at least in Australia the scales are definitely more even than they were and you can enjoy your equality thanks to the efforts of the many Aussie women who went before.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
There's been a lot of talk in the media recently about whether women are treated equally to men. It's called sexism and it's something even the Prime Minister says she's been a victim of. But while people disagree about how fairly women are treated today there's no doubt they weren't treated equally in the past.

His name was George Floyd. A 46-year-old father of two from Minnesota who's become a symbol to many Americans of racism and police violence. Protests erupted last week when George died after being arrested for allegedly using a fake $20 note. Many believe he was treated with unnecessary violence by police before he died. It's not the first time something like this has happened.

Many black Americans say they feel unsafe around police and feel like they're unfairly targetted. While a police officer's now been charged over George Floyd's death, many say it's not enough and the deaths need to stop. The protests have now spread from Minneapolis to other US cities and some have been violent with cars set on fire, shops looted, and buildings vandalised. Some cities have brought in curfews which means people aren't allowed out at night and National Guard soldiers have been sent to control the protestors.

DONALD TRUMP, US PRESIDENT: It does not serve the interest of justice or any citizen of any race colour or creed for the government to give into anarchy, abandon police precincts or allow communities to be burned to the ground.

But the protests haven't all been violent. In some places police have even joined in to let people know that they want to stop the deaths too and many celebrities have shown their support, saying America needs to do more to make its citizens feel safe and equal.

BEYONCE: If you're white, black, brown and anything in between, I'm sure you feel hopeless by the racism going on in America right now.

Pay Gap - US Football team battle for more than world cup

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
If you are anything like us, you will be getting super excited for the Women's World Cup, which starts in June.

But the current World Champions, the US, are heading to France with more than just a tournament to win.

That is because all 28 members of the team are taking legal action against the US Soccer Federation - the company who look after all football in the US - over how much money they are paid.

They say they have been treated differently to the men's national team. They say they're not being paid as much and are asking to be paid equally. They also say they've haven't been or allowed the same working rights because of their gender.

This is an issue about something called the gender pay gap.

What is the difference between equal pay and the gender pay gap?

The gender pay gap and equal pay are two different things.

The gender pay gap is the difference in average earnings between men and women.

Equal pay is paying men and women the same amount to do the same job and has been a legal requirement since 1970.

When comparing the two teams, members of the men's team earned an average of $263,320 each (around £208,000) for playing in 20 exhibition games in a year. But the women's team players could earn a maximum of $99,000 (that's about £78,000) for playing in the same number of games.

Another reason they are unhappy is because the women's team often play on artificial turf, which players believe is more likely to cause injuries, while the men played on the fake turf just once. The women felt that they were given less prestigious stadiums to play in and poorer facilities to train on or in.

Why are female and male footballers paid differently anyway?

In the UK's top leagues, female footballers in the Women's Super League are paid much less than their male counterparts in the Premier League.

The clubs say the pay gap is justified because the women's game brings in smaller crowds, and generates less money through advertising and television deals.

However, in the US, the women's team play in front of bigger crowds and it is thought more people watch them on the TV than they do the men's side.

They are also a much more successful team. The men's side's best finish was third place in 1930, whereas the women's team have won the World Cup three times!

Is it the same in other sports?

The pay gap used to be very common across the sporting world.

According to one survey in 2017, Neymar - who plays for Paris St Germain - earned the same as 1,693 female football players in France, Germany, England, the US, Sweden, Australia and Mexico combined.

Getty Images

Serena Williams, who recently backed the US football team and their fight for equality, says former tennis player Billy Jean King, who campaigned for equality in her sport in the 1970s, is the reason she is able to play tennis professionally today.

When King won the US Open in 1972, she received $15,000 less than the men's champion and vowed not to return the following year unless the prize money was equal.

In 1973, the US Open became the first major tournament to offer equal prize money for men and women. Yet equal prize money at Wimbledon didn't come in until 2007 - so 34 years later.

Yemen was one of the first countries to be caught up in the Arab Spring uprisings which swept the Middle East and North Africa 10 years ago.

There, women were part of the protests against unemployment, economic conditions and corruption that saw longtime ruler Ali Abdullah Saleh toppled from power.

But with Yemen now gripped by war, how much has changed for women since the uprising?

BBC Monitoring's Sumaya Bakhsh spoke to Ishraq al-Maqtari, who was among the first women to take to the streets. The lawyer and women's rights activist recalls how the uprising was an unprecedented opportunity for women to have their voices heard.

Byeon Hee-su, who was declared unfit to serve last year after her gender-reassignment surgery, had sued to be reinstated.

SEOUL, South Korea - A transgender woman who was expelled by the South Korean military last year after her gender-reassignment surgery has been found dead at her home south of Seoul, the police said on Thursday.

The authorities said they were investigating the cause of death of the woman, Byeon Hee-su, 23, whose body was found on Wednesday at her home in the city of Cheongju by emergency responders. They were alerted after a local mental health center that had been counseling her reported that it could not contact her.

Ms. Byeon, who had been a staff sergeant in an army tank unit, was discharged from the military in January 2020 following her surgery. She had wanted to continue her service in the army, but a military panel declared her unfit to serve. She became the first active-duty soldier in South Korea to be referred to such a panel because she had had a sex-change operation.

Since her dismissal, Ms. Byeon had campaigned vigorously to be reinstated, arguing that there was no reason she could not fulfill her duties.

"I want to show that I can be an excellent soldier who helps defend this country regardless of my sexual identity," Ms. Byeon said tearfully at a news conference following her discharge. "Please give me that chance."

Ms. Byeon's case laid bare the plight that lesbians, gay men, bisexuals and transgender people often face in South Korea's socially conservative society, especially in its armed forces. Gay and other soldiers have long complained of discrimination and abuse. Gay men and lesbians are not barred from service, but they have been subjected to investigations by military officials. Transgender people, however, are barred from joining the armed forces, since they are categorized by the military as having mental and physical "disorders."

In a ruling last year, a district court formally recognized Ms. Byeon as female. After her initial petition to be reinstated was rejected by the military, Ms. Byeon sued the military, arguing that her discharge had been unlawful. The first hearing in the case had been scheduled to take place in a military court next month.

The military expressed its condolences over her death but declined to make any further comments.

Ms. Byeon's death brought an outpouring on social media from transgender people, who thanked her for speaking out for transgender rights in the face of the social stigma.

"I am truly sorry that we have failed to protect the life you have so desperately wanted," Jang Hye-young, a lawmaker affiliated with the minority Justice Party, said in a post on Twitter.

Efforts to adopt a comprehensive anti-discrimination law to promote the rights of women and sexual and other minorities have been stymied for years in Parliament as powerful conservative Christian churches have lobbied against it, calling the conduct of L.G.B.T. people sinful.

Ms. Byeon​ joined the military in 2017. She underwent her operation in Thailand while on leave. She ran into trouble afterward, when a South Korean military-run hospital, where she had checked in for post-surgery treatment, said that she was disabled and could be discharged from the army because of the loss of male genitalia from the surgery.

South Korea, which is technically at war with North Korea across one of the world's most heavily fortified borders, requires all able-bodied men to serve in its armed forces for about 20 months. Women are exempt from conscription but may choose to enlist.

Before her death, Ms. Byeon found significant international backing for her cause.

United Nations human rights officials said in a letter to the South Korean government last July that her dismissal "would violate the right to work and the prohibition of discrimination based on gender identity under international human rights law​."

​The South Korean government defended the military's decision, saying that in order to allow transgender people to serve in the military, the country would have to consider how it would affect troops' combat readiness against North Korea. It also said the nation had to weigh the "effects on personnel morale​"

In December, ​South Korea's National Human Rights Commission​ called the army's decision unfair and recommended that it reinstate Ms. Byeon.

Lim Tae-hoon, director of the Military Human Rights Center of Korea, which provided assistance for Ms. Byeon, said after her death, "We pray that Staff Sergeant Byeon Hee-su, a tank driver, will live with like-minded people in the next world where there is no discrimination and hatred."
