Equal Pay Day
Wear RED to symbolize how far women & minorities are "in the red" with their pay & share using the #EqualPayDay hashtag!
Equal Pay Day was originated by the National Committee on Pay Equity (NCPE) in 1996 as a public awareness event to illustrate the gap between men's and women's wages. Because women earn less, on average, than men, they must work longer for the same amount of pay. The wage gap is even greater for most women of color.
On April 10, 2018, a rally to raise awareness was led by members of the Zonta Club of Kaua'i. Mayor Bernard Carvalho and members of the County Council issued an Equal Pay Day Proclamation. Read The Garden Island Newspaper feature HERE.
