A former Icelandic Presidential candidate has told �鶹�� 5 live that when it comes to gender equality “it’s not just a fight for women’s rights, it’s a fight for equal rights”. Thora Arnorsdottir, who ran for President in 2012, told Wake Up To Money’s Colletta Smith that while Iceland was one of the best places to be a woman in the world it was worth remembering “change” was still needed to make males and females truly equal. Iceland has topped the World Economics Forum's rankings of the best place to be a woman in the world for 7 years in a row, and more than 80% of the female population is in work. The country also has one of the smallest gender pay gaps, with women being paid 14% less than men on average. This clip is originally from 5 live’s Wake Up To Money on Thursday 8 December 2016.
