An all-star cast joins together for a video they're not even in. Why? Because 'we're not there yet.'

A group of high-profile women highlight gender inequality. In much of the world, women are still treated as second-class citizens. It's time to change that, but we're not there yet.





The Clinton Foundation's "No Ceilings" campaign released a star-studded video featuring the voices of Amy Poehler, Cameron Diaz, Sienna Miller, and Padma Lakshmi to illustrate just a few of the many challenges women face in the fight for equality.


These women are taking a stand, saying that we simply aren't there yet.


Additionally, a number of magazines are missing their cover girls. Brands ranging from Vogue to Allure are fighting for equal rights for women.














The No Ceilings website contains a lot of great information about the struggles remaining in the path to gender equality.



  • The U.S. is 1 of only 9 countries worldwide that doesn't provide paid maternity leave.

  • Women spend up to five more hours each day doing unpaid housework than men.

  • Nearly 70% of countries' constitutions don't protect girls' rights to secondary school.

  • In developing countries, 200 million fewer women have access to the Internet than men.

  • 1 in 3 women are victims of sexual violence.

  • The pay gap remains virtually unchanged over the past two decades.
