It's #EqualPayDay for 🇺🇸 ♀️ . https://www.npr.org/2026/03/26/nx-s1-5758090/equal-pay-day-gender-wage-gap
In 🇨🇦 it's Apr 14: https://equalpaycoalition.org/

The gender pay gap is an intentional form of discrimination against women. It's a sign of the value placed on women’s work & time. GPGs perpetuate gender inequality. GI is the root cause for gender-based violence. Gender inequality & GBV impacts women in work & in #cycling -whether via #UrbanPlanning, #micromobility, #snowclearing or #sports.
