DESCRIPTION:

International Equal Pay Day, celebrated on September 18th, symbolizes global efforts to ensure equal pay for work of equal value, highlighting a core commitment of the United Nations to human rights and opposition to all forms of discrimination, particularly against women and girls. Despite this, women are still paid less than men globally, with a gender pay gap of around 20 percent due to historical and structural inequalities, poverty, and unequal access to resources and opportunities.

Progress towards closing the gender pay gap has been slow and challenging, although the principle of equal pay for men and women is widely accepted. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) address these issues, focusing on achieving gender equality and empowerment for all women and girls, while promoting decent work, economic growth, and equal pay for work of equal value for everyone, including young people and persons with disabilities.

The mainstreaming of a gender perspective is deemed crucial in realizing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Achieving equal pay is a significant milestone for human rights and gender equality, requiring collective global efforts. Key stakeholders like the United Nations, including UN Women and the International Labour Organization (ILO), invite member states, civil society, women's organizations, businesses, and workers' and employers' organizations to actively promote equal pay and the economic empowerment of women and girls.
