Equality? The Bangladeshi construction manager saw me photographing these two women and wanted to make sure I knew he was all for equality.

When I asked if they got equal pay to men he chuckled and said, “They get half the pay because they work together.” I guess he didn't see that the women were twice as fast as the men. Nor did he care to notice that some men were working together.

Worldwide, women get paid less than men. For every nine months a man works, it takes women twelve months to earn the same amount of pay. In other words, women work three months a year for free.
