A non-racist and equal world is still so far away in my opinion, however I didn’t actually realise how far off until this week. I would like to believe that my generation will be the generation that fights for equal rights for everyone, who doesn’t care about background or colour of skin but honestly, I don’t see that much of a difference to what it was like years and years ago.

The way these views are put across however is different. Nowadays we don’t have the split schools, different buses or stereotypical jobs for genders anymore but we do have social media where people can hide behind.

Personally I still can’t believe that in some work environments, women get paid less for the same job. Anyone who has the same job title should be earning the exact same amount end of story.

Equality in sport is also another area that really hasn’t moved forward that much as only recently women in tennis were payed the same as men and the England women football team are doing much better than the men and yet we don’t here anything about it.

Overall I thought I was proud of how ‘far’ we have come as a world but really after this week, I’m embarrassed.
