Iceland: Women strike over inequality

BBC World Service - World Business Report, Iceland: Women strike over inequality

Thousands of women on the Nordic island are protesting over equal pay

Women across the Nordic island, including the prime minister, are on strike over equal pay and gender-based violence.

Women across the Nordic island, including the Prime Minister Katrín Jakobsdóttir, are on strike over equal pay and gender-based violence.

It's the first full-day of action like this since 1975 when it led to an equal pay law being introduced the following year.

Rahul Tandon will hear from a protest about why more still needs to be done.
