According to the poll, 54 per cent of girls said they first noticed gender inequality between age 10 and 13. The findings are based on a nationwide survey of more than 1,200 girls and boys, primarily aged 12 to 17. It asked questions about attitudes and behaviours related to gender inequality, sexism and feminism. Jill Zelmanovits, CEO of the Girl Guides of Canada, said the most surprising result was how early experiences with inequality began. Twenty-seven per cent of girls said they're treated worse than boys in sports or gym class, while 15 per cent of boys said they're treated better.
