I would say they are not. In my opinion, current statistics clearly show that. I would be very curious to know what statistics my colleagues are relying on to say that women are equal to men.
I believe it was Ms. Byers who mentioned that compared to men, women's wages amount to 71 ¢ on the dollar. Furthermore, one woman in four is a victim of violence. In that sense, I do not believe that we are equal to men.
