Nearly 40 years since the Equal Pay Act of 1970, women working full-time across the UK still earn on average 17% less an hour than men working full-time.
30th October is effectively the day that British women receive their last payslip of the year, because the 17.1% full-time pay gap is equivalent to men being paid all year round, while women work for free after 30th October..
Get involved! Get equality!
