Oped, Yanis Varoufakis, Published on 05/04/2024
» Economics has an intractable "women problem". High-school girls avoid it. Female undergraduates abandon it.

Even women who have reached the discipline's summit, like Christine Lagarde, president of the European Central Bank, consider economists "a tribal clique" and their models defective.

» Since the Covid-19 outbreak, an estimated 736 million women have been subjected to physical violence, mostly by their intimate partners or husbands. This global increase in domestic violence has pushed UN Women into striving for gender equality and female empowerment. Accordingly, the international organisation has launched a "Shadow Pandemic" awareness campaign to end sexual violence against women and girls (VAWG).
