This is the last annual report from the EOC. Next
year, with the Commission for Racial Equality
and the Disability Rights Commission, it will be
part of a new organisation called the Commission
for Equality and Human Rights. As this will be
headed by the present chair of the CRE, some
people are afraid that they may forget to consider
women’s rights.
Katherine Rake, an equal rights campaigner,
protested: “This research proves beyond a doubt
that life at the top is white and male.”
And Ms Watson summed up: “We haven’t solved
the problem of sex discrimination yet. There is so
much more to be done.”
