Call You and Yours: Women in the workplace

After several Conservative MPs are promoted in government, Julian Worricker asks what it's like for women in the workplace today. Call or email youandyours@bbc.co.uk.

David Cameron's Conservative party has promoted several female MPs as part of a ministerial reshuffle. We often hear about women in business and politics but we want to hear from people who have experienced either sexism or positive discrimination in as many workplaces as possible. Maybe you're a man who feels you've missed out on a job because the other candidate was given special treatment for being a woman. Even if that's the case, does it matter? And what about pay? More than four decades after the Equal Pay Act promised to pay women the same as men for doing the same job, many are still fighting to get a fair wage. Are you one of them? We were told the glass ceiling would be shattered but have you found it still exists? 03700 100 444 is the number to call, email youandyours@bbc.co.uk or text us on 84844.
