Women are again treated unfairly in sport. In 2009 only 4% of sports news was about women in their sport the other 96% was of men (Women's Sport Foundation, 2011). Earnings wise women are far behind on prize money, sponsorship and endorsements. In sport women’s abilities are looked as inferior to men due to coverage of news for women’s sport, matches, the general support and earnings. Professional sports women while on tour are forced having to fly commercial while men star athletes travel first class, and a big fuss is made over them, does this not show us the inequality? (Fagan, 2012) I myself hardly know of many women teams in most sports or of women star athletes unless they have made a name for themselves in amongst the men. If women are not the best of the best no one knows who they are, however with men sports one knows everyone. This is due to coverage of women’s sport on TV and results in the media such as in newspapers and magazines. Women are down-graded because of their gender in sport just because women have always been seen as someone as a mother figure, to work in the home and to be there to look pretty not to show their ability. An inequality is also shown in the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games where only 38.2% of the athletes were women again showing the lack of support for women in sport. An example will be that there are athletic races in Council of Europe member states where there are less bonuses and rate which they are paid are to women than to men. …show more content…
A ‘glass ceiling’ in business means that a person is unable to go further in their career due to ‘barriers’ based on discrimination and their goals and achievements are therefore looked at as unrealistic. This is called a glass ceiling due to it not being a real or visual thing but is still has the purpose of being a boundary or barrier. So women could be discriminated in their business and therefore won’t achieve a higher rank or more highly paid job due to this discrimination and never will go up the career ladder.
c.iii. A business could promote gender equality in its business by paying both genders the same amount of remuneration when doing the same job, hiring and training an equal amount of both genders, have a policy which helps both genders to balance their personal and family matters, having the same set of rules and regulations which apply to both genders and having same benefits and rewards for both genders (White,
