Today is International Women’s Day.

A day to celebrate everything there is about being a woman but also a day that reminds us of the glaring imbalance between men and women in the workplace.

The gender pay gap is an issue that we’re all still fighting against, see here and here for more information on that, and there’s no denying that women are subjected to harassment in the workplace on a daily basis.

If you’re not aware of this, or simply don’t believe it’s true, take a look at the below infographic, based on the results of a recent survey conducted by software company, Jobbio.

Over 150 women, based in the UK and Ireland, were asked to submit some of the comments they have received in the workplace and the results really are shocking.

The infographic displayed below includes 22 infuriating remarks that have been made to women in the workplace.

This is likely to make you very angry but hopefully, it will also encourage us to stand together and unite in the continued fight for equality.
