    • Society & Culture

While Harvey Weinstein's 2020 rape conviction has been overturned by New York's top court, the French medical profession is now dealing with a series of #MeToo allegations in hospitals, including one leading female specialist levelling accusations against a renowned male colleague. Also it may be 2024 but a full-time working woman still makes only 88 cents for every euro or dollar earned by a man, across the OECD. Annette Young talks to OECD senior economist, Valerie Frey, on the effectiveness of pay transparency laws. Plus the Egyptian female rappers vying for the spotlight as they seek to pursue their careers in a highly traditional Muslim country.
