Women's Pay Gap

Back to Home

Discrimination

Gender discrimination is a huge problem throughout the world. Gender discrimination results in higher paychecks, job opportunities, responsibilities, friendships, and more for men. Women are, in some countries, abused, not allowed in school, forced into early parenthood and marriage, receive lower paychecks, are separated from men, and much more.

Solutions that have been tried and failed.

A group of people tried to pass the Paycheck Fairness Act, but it has not been passed yet.

Teenagers can help too!

Kids can do friendly protests, informative videos, start school clubs, inform people of Gender Inequality and so much more.

Working towards gender equality!

Many people around the world are getting equal pay rights because of protests. Visit https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-39004991 to read about gender equality in Sweden. 1

This show's the percent of people who have experienced gender discrimination.

As you can see very few men experienced gender discrimination but more than 50% of woman have.

This show's how much woman are paid in different country's based on a percent of what men are paid.

Even the highest is only 90.1 percent! Women earn so much less than men in far too many countries. We need the help of everyone to make all countries go from 65% to 100%!

Someone who is working to end gender inequality

UN Women is an entity working to end gender discrimination and inequality.

An Image

This image shows how men are helped and pushed by other people but woman have to make their own path.

Here are some of my goals for gender equality!

1. Good education for girls

Education is a big problem around the globe. In most countries, girls and women are not allowed to go to school, and are expected to stay home, clean, cook and look after the children. Many women are even forced into early parenthood, and forced to leave school to take care of their children.

2. Better pay in the workplace

Women typically earn less than men in business, simply because they believe men deserve, and work harder, than women. This is not true! Women and men have the same potential for anything they work for, and deserve equal pay and treatment in the workplace.

Here are some videos to inform you on the issues of gender inequality.
