2–8 March | Nationwide
In the lead-up to International Women’s Day, Working Women’s Week is a nationwide week of action for pay equity.
Pay equity is a cost-of-living issue. Women’s work keeps Aotearoa running - in our workplaces, homes, and communities. From care and education to health and care and support roles, women’s work must be respected, valued, and paid fairly.
Across the country, people are coming together to talk about women’s work, highlight inequities, and get enrolled to vote!
Each action shares one simple, collective call to action: Enrol to vote for Pay Equity.
