This Equal Pay Day (Friday 25 August), national violence prevention organisation Our Watch is calling for workplaces to commit to closing the gender pay gap and preventing violence against women. According to the Workplace Gender Equality Agency, the full-time gender pay gap is 13 per cent, with the gap hovering between 13 and 19 per cent in the past two decades. This equates to a gap of $253 a week and $13,183 each year. Equal Pay Day marks the additional 56 days per year an average woman working full-time needs to work, to earn the same amount as an average man working full-time.
