Equal Pay Day 2022
Announcement! 📣 Equal Pay Day 2022 will take place on Sunday 20th November.

What is Equal Pay Day? 💸 It marks the day in the year where women stop earning, relative to men, because of the gender pay gap. This year, the gender pay gap is 11.3%, a tiny decrease from 11.9% last year. It is deeply disappointing that this number has hardly shifted in the past few years and that's why we need you to help us tackle pay inequality and join in the #EqualPayDay campaign.

Jemima Olchawski, CEO of the Fawcett Society, said:

“We need more urgent action now, to put women’s equality at the heart of our economic recovery. The government should make flexible work the default with a requirement for jobs to be advertised as flexible upfront, to enable more women to work. We need mandatory ethnicity pay gap reporting and action plans, and we need employers to stop asking discriminatory salary history questions. Women can’t afford to wait any longer for the gap to close.”

Get involved ✊ Ahead of Equal Pay Day we will be providing you, our wonderful supporters, with a toolkit to support your campaigning. Watch this space for more information on how you can get involved with #EqualPayDay.
