We have heard much about sexism in recent years, but do you know what the term refers to?

It also affects other men.

We tend to conceive the world in terms of dualities: good and bad, black and white, men and women. But the fact of the matter is that society is not just composed of two parts: it is much richer and this extends to the workplace.

Poverty is a worldwide challenge and in 1993 the UN declared October 17 as the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty to remind governments, society and the private sector that, by joining forces, we can rise to this challenge.
