Today is European #EqualPayDay . It's the day when women symbolically stop getting paid compared to their male colleagues for the same job.
Women in the EU still earn on average 16% less than men, a slight improvement from last year's 16.2%.
Let's close the gap!

Frans 🏴‍☠️ Marianne Thyssen Věra Jourová European Commission EU Justice 'Equality of treatment and opportunities between women and men must be ensured and fostered in all areas [...] Women and men have the right to equal pay for work of equal value.'

This is principle 2⃣ of the European Pillar of #SocialRights !

'We must continue to fight the #GenderPayGap , for a more effective workforce and for a more just society.'
