NEW YORK (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Longstanding inequalities in the U.S. labor market have worsened amid the coronavirus pandemic with working from home fuelling the divide, according to a Gallup report released on Wednesday.
Gallup surveyed more than 7,700 U.S. adults in the final quarter of 2020, with the findings showing that pandemic-related job losses skewed heavily towards Hispanic and Black Americans, as well as those with lower education and income levels.
More than 40% of Americans whose 2019 incomes were in the bottom 20%, multiracial and Hispanic workers, and those without a college degree, said they had been laid off during the pandemic compared with 31% of overall respondents.

NAIROBI (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Kenya’s High Court ruling upholding a ban on female genital mutilation (FGM) will give a much needed boost to the fight to end the widely condemned practice in the East African nation, women’s rights groups said on Wednesday.
One in five Kenyan women and girls aged between 15 and 49 have undergone FGM, which usually involves the partial or total removal of the female genitalia and can cause a host of serious health problems, says the United Nations.
Kenya outlawed FGM a decade ago with a punishment of three years imprisonment and a US$2,000 fine, but the practice persists as some communities see it is necessary for social acceptance and increasing their daughters’ marriage prospects.
