索普女士告诉BBC说:“我说‘如果你们能给我一个理由,告诉我为什么穿平底鞋会妨碍我今天做我的工作,那我才服气’,但是他们说不出理由。”
"I was expected to do a nine-hour shift on my feet escorting clients to meeting rooms. I said 'I just won't be able to do that in heels'."
“我本来要走来走去地值9个小时的班,陪同客户到会议室去。我说‘我穿高跟鞋没法站那么久’。”
Ms Thorp said she asked if a man would be expected to do the same shift in heels, and was laughed at.
索普女士说,她当时发问,公司是否也指望一个男人穿着高跟鞋来值同样的班,结果被嘲笑了。
She then spoke to friends about what had happened, and after posting on Facebook realised that other women had found themselves in the same position.
她把发生的事情告诉了朋友,还在Facebook上发帖,这时她才意识到其他女性的处境也和她一样。
She has since set up a petition calling for the law to be changed so women cannot be forced to wear high heels to work. It has had more than 10,000 signatures, so the government will now have to respond.
从那以后她就发起了一个请愿活动,要求修改法律,让女性不必被迫穿高跟鞋上班。请愿书上的签名已经超过1万个,所以政府现在不得不做出回应。
As the law stands, employers can dismiss staff who fail to live up to "reasonable" dress code demands, as long as they've been given enough time to buy the right shoes and clothes.
