If you’re an online shopper, you have probably seen the name “Klarna” popping up on the payment pages of sites like TopShop and JDSports. It’s a lending bank branding itself as a smart, funky new payment option for those of us who just can’t wait til payday to buy that new pair of trainers.

We’ve all heard of the gender pay gap (unfortunately) but let’s turn our attention to its evil twin, the gender pension gap. It stands to reason, really, that if women are earning less they’ll be saving less. And of course women tend to live longer so they need more in their pension pots.

Now it’s a truly global phenomenon, and by no means limited to public figures and intellectuals: girls, boys, women and men from all corners of the world are coming together to help drive change in gender equality, and recognize the often hidden acts of heroism, large and small, that our mothers and sisters have accomplished.
