Sexism and the City - Lapdancing 21 Oct 2009
How sexist is the culture of the City?

The growing trend in the City to use lap dancing clubs and prostitutes to entertain clients, is undermining equality between women and men in the workplace, according to the Fawcett Society. The evidence has been heard as part of a Treasury Committee enquiry into women’s role in the City and other major financial institutions in the UK. Kat Banyard, author of the report, joins Jenni to talk about the sex industry’s infiltration of the modern workplace. How sexist is the culture of the City and what can be done to improve equality?
