Iceland becomes the first country in the world to make companies prove women get paid the same as men

The Nordic nation has pledged to eradicate the gender pay gap by 2022

On International Women’s Day, Iceland became the first country in the world to force companies to prove they pay all employees the same regardless of gender, ethnicity, sexuality or nationality,

The country’s government announced a new law that will require every company with 25 or more staff to gain a certificate demonstrating pay equality.

Iceland is not the first country to introduce a scheme like this - Switzerland has one, as does the US state of Minnesota - but Iceland is thought to be the first to make it a mandatory requirement.

Equality and Social Affairs Minister Thorsteinn Viglundsson said that “the time is right to do something radical about this issue.”

“Equal rights are human rights. We need to make sure that men and women enjoy equal opportunity in the workplace. It is our responsibility to take every measure to achieve that,” he said.

The move comes as part of a drive by the Nordic nation to eradicate the gender pay gap by 2022.

“Loneliness isn’t the physical absence of other people, he said—it’s the sense that you’re not sharing anything that matters with anyone else. If you have lots of people around you—perhaps even a husband or wife, or a family, or a busy workplace—but you don’t share anything that matters with them, then you’ll still be lonely.

Twelve Weeks

The words after gone were left unheard. Suddenly I went from with to without, from expecting to I don’t know, what—unexpecting? How can I realize this leaving when you never yet arrived, holding that whispered might-have-been alongside bitter what-if- I-had-only? These things happen for a reason they said, and I should know there is no fault. Just fault lines to be stepped across, between mother and not, the tasks of crossing out the numbered weeks penciled on the calendar, of telling who I must. Strange how my belly still curved, my breasts twinged, the daylong quease carried on, as if my body hopefilled to the last, believed it no more than I. My less than little one, I would have flown to the moon, would have crawled there if crawling could have brought you home. Break open hope, dilate and gently scrape, suction what’s leftover into lines on discharge papers. Good to go. Goodbye, my blossom.

I can tell by the way that you hold the door, You don't need me, So I sit myself back on the floor, And I wait there, 'cause I can't go out no more, 'Cause you dont need me no more, You don't love me no more, You don't want me at all
