Iceland, the most equal country in the world. (A place I'd like to visit)


The place I would like to visit the most in the world is Iceland. Iceland is a small island in the Atlantic Ocean, north of Europe. Despite its name, it is not as cold as you would imagine.
There are two reasons why I want to visit Iceland. First, I love the landscapes and I really want to see the northern lights; the most beautiful spectacle in the world. Second, and more importantly, equality. Gender equality in Iceland, even though not perfect, is the best in the world. For example, 80% of women are part of the workforce, whereas in Chile only 52% of women are working. This gets worse in politics. In Iceland, out of the 62 seats in parliament, women occupy 30, which is 48%. In Chile, only 15.5% of the parliament is occupied by women.
For those reasons, I think Iceland is an amazing place and I really want to visit it!
