Work
Sexism in the City 9 April 2008
City buildings
Why does the City continue to be such a tough place for women when the sexism laws have been tightened?

In March Venetia Thompson was sacked for writing an article about her experiences of working in the City. As one of only a handful of women in her office, she says she was known as 'airbags', a reference to her breasts. She joins Jenni to discusses the challenge of tackling sexism in The City, along with Sarah Bond, who works for city firm KPMG, and Andrea Nicholls, an employment lawyer.
