Driftseed Education outreach and documentary storytelling building a better world for women and girls USING CULTURE TO CHANGE CULTURE In nearly every country culture and society around the world women are not seen as equal to men. Women are less likely to hold positions of formal authority in local and national governments and are less likely to be managers CEOs and board members of companies and multinational corporations. Women are more often than not underpaid for the formal work they do outside the home and completely unpaid for the informal work performed within the home.
