Human rights in Denmark

In Denmark, women and men are equal, and it is illegal to discriminate the two sexes.
All have equal duties and equal rights. All have their right to decide over themselves, their life, and their body. They earn their own money and take responsibility for themselves. Both men and women have to take responsibility for their children, and pay taxes, to participate in society.
We also have ethnic equality, and that means that everyone, regardless of background, faith and
colour, are equally in the Danish society.

Although the above is written in the law, there is far less female managers in Danish companies. But it is getting better.
