International Equal Pay Day

International Equal Pay Day takes place on 18th September and is dedicated to raising awareness about the gender pay gap and advocating for equal pay for work of equal value. This day highlights the ongoing issue of wage disparity between men and women worldwide, calling for actions to close the gap and ensure fair compensation for all, regardless of gender. Various organisations, governments, and advocates participate in campaigns, discussions, and events to promote the importance of pay equity.

The gender pay gap remains a significant barrier to achieving gender equality globally. International Equal Pay Day provides a platform to discuss the structural inequalities that lead to pay disparities and to promote legislative and organisational changes that can help close the gap. Efforts are made to educate employers and employees about their rights, the importance of transparency in pay practices, and the long-term benefits of pay equity.
