Equal Pay Day 2018 in Europe

For many years, BPW Europe has been managing an important project about the equal pay for equal work, a pillar of the decent work topic, involving all Federations and Clubs.

The EPD Campaign, started in the year 2008, aims to reduce the gender pay gap and to attract the attention of the Institutions. Before no one spoke about this problem; now the movement of opinion is there and it is strong.

The gender pay gap was one of the points that Hillary Clinton put in her political campaign. President Barack Obama highlighted the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Equal Pay Act that President John F. Kennedy signed in 1963.

Pope Francesco on this matter said: "Why is it assumed that women have to earn less than men? No! They have the same rights. Disparity is a pure scandal!”

Our campaign on Equal Pay day had and has the merit of increasing awareness on this issue and many countries are approving appropriate laws and we consider as our success that the law entered into force in Iceland and France, the first countries in the world to apply seriously the concept of equal pay for equal work.

We achieved another important result: now the equal salary for equal work is one of the seventeen sustainable development goals on the Agenda 2030.
