There’s something a little off with this equality drive in Hungary’s British Embassy
The British Embassy in Budapest has been doing sterling work towards creating a climate of gender equality, if they are to be believed.
There’s just one slight problem with that – see if you can spot what it is.
"Each for Equal" – This year the campaign around the #InternationalWomensDay focuses around #genderequality. Our Embassy proud of its effort to facilitate gender equality and recognize the female colleagues' contribution to the Embassy's susccess. #IWD2020 pic.twitter.com/PKuH7LYlUi

Mick ter Reehorst had this niggling suspicion about the photo’s gender imbalance.
The female colleagues are probably doing actual work towards gender equality inside. https://t.co/7CxxtlUrWl
