Will New Zealand replace sexist road signs?

It is reported that after receiving a 7-year-old girl's reaction that road signs implied gender discrimination, the New Zealand transportation department decided to completely replace such road signs.

It is reported that seven-year-old Zoe? Zoe Carew found that when the power line on the street was being renovated, the relevant departments would set up a slogan "Linemen" with male gender meaning beside it, indicating that the line was in a state of overhaul.

Although Zoe doesn't intend to be a wire worker herself, in her opinion, she thinks this logo is "incorrect" and "unfair" because women are fully qualified for this job. Then she wrote to the head of the transportation department to express her opinion, hoping that the word "men" implied in the logo could be replaced by the word "worker" with a neutral color.

The head of New Zealand's transportation department wrote back to Zoe soon, praising her for finding injustice and taking immediate action, and said that all existing signs would be replaced with the word "line crew" without gender implication. The New Zealand Transportation Department subsequently posted this decision on social media.

However, the head of New Zealand's transportation department said that the replacement of new signs depends on the degree of wear and tear of the old signs, so it will still take some time to completely replace the new signs. The director also said that Zoe would be invited to take a photo with the first batch of new logos.

It is reported that New Zealand has always been famous for its gender equality policy. According to the report of the 217 World Economic Forum, among the countries surveyed, New Zealand ranks ninth in terms of gender income gap, political empowerment and education.
