Here are a few of our highlights from this year’s mammoth global day of blogging on the theme of ‘inequality’.
Thanks so much to everyone who sent us their musings, poems and infographics for this year’s Blog Action Day. We were really impressed with the quality and variety of all your entries, and clearly inequality is an issue that stirs up passions and stimulates debate. We had loads to read through, so it all took a little longer than we thought – but here are three of our favourites.

We Need Feminism Because Gender Inequality Still Exists in Western Society by Tina Kia and Jeannie Lin
A timely look at why feminism still matters in a world where victims of sexual crimes are accused of ‘asking for it’.
El Tiburón by Jessie MaeA poetic and moving account of how one man is struggling to access adequate medical care in Mexico.
