Equal Pay Day is a national campaign led by Fawcett in the UK. It marks the day in the year when, based on the Gender Pay Gap, women on average in the UK stop being paid compared to men. 

This year, Government data has indicated a mean Gender Pay Gap of 11.3% for full time workers, which means Equal Pay Day will be on 20 November.
