It is 2011 and a man is still more likely to earn more money than a woman, even while doing the same job. Every year 70 million girls are deprived of getting an education and a staggering 60 million are sexually assaulted on their way to school.
In support of the 100th anniversary of International Women's Day, which took place on 8 March 2011, James Bond star, Daniel Craig, dresses up as a woman in this short film that will be screened in cinemas and streamed online to highlight persistent inequality between men and women.
The film features Dame Judi Dench's voice in character as "M," drawing attention to crucial statistics, which demonstrate the inequality that still persists between men and women.
The film is the result of a partnership between the We Are All Equals Coalition and Annie Lennox.
