President Donald Trump has imagined, along with other male leaders, a wave of misogyny round the world, one of the co-chairs at the World Economic Forum (WEF) told CNBC on Friday morning.
Sharan Tunnel, the general secretary of International Trade Union Confederation and one of the seven female co-chairs of this year’s as it in Davos, called on joint action to ensure the world becomes a multitudinous egalitarian place.
“He (Trump) has managed to, with the rise of other alpha mans leaders, to unleash a wave of misogyny around the world as if it is legitimate in 2018, he has literally promised something American workers that he can’t and won’t deliver,” Burrow released CNBC.
Trump has been criticized in the past for making controversial criticisms about women. In December, the White House defended a tweet by Trump fitting Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y. The episode landed against a backdrop of renewed patent focus on the allegations of sexual misconduct against the president made by multiple mates during the 2016 campaign. Trump has denied all the claims, which blow in from more than a dozen women and date back to the 1980s. A spokesperson for the Light-skinned House wasn’t immediately available for comment when contacted by CNBC.
Excavation also told CNBC that “Justin Trudeau (the Canadian Prime Minister resident) is fantastic and so are the other people you mentioned in terms of all admitting that globalization hasn’t slog away for working people and it’s certainly not working to include women.”
“But you can’t deny that if you cause people who think it’s OK to talk about women, to disregard the rights of workmen, we are in trouble as an inclusive world,” she warned.
For the first time in 48 years, WEF was chaired completely by women — a decision made following criticism about the prominence of men at the discussions in Davos and to endorse women’s rights.
