Proceeding contribution from Judy Mallaber (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 October 2008. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Jobs for the Girls: Two Years On.


Jobs for the Girls: Two Years On

I think that the fact that the title has caught the hon. Gentleman's attention makes our point. Given that the style of Select Committee reports is not very jazzy, we were trying to find something that would attract people. Of course, this issue does start at an early age, because what happens to one starts in childhood, or even before birth. Also, women are sometimes referred to as girls in a slightly derogatory way, as opposed to boys, who are always called men.
