Former
China editor says she is baffled by EHRC clearing corporation of wrongdoing
Carrie Gracie has described an investigation into pay discrimination at the
BBC as a “whitewash”, after it cleared the broadcaster of wrongdoing.
The former BBC China editor won substantial back pay in 2018 after going public with details of how she was out-earned by equivalent male journalists at the broadcaster. She said the methodology used by the Equality and
Human Rights Commission (EHRC) in its investigation was baffling and that
Women could not rely on a regulator but should instead “stay strong, calm, united and justice will prevail”.
