“…because you have a penis”
The Young Women’s Christian Association of New Zealand has launched a campaign to demand equal pay for women.
To resolve the reality that women in New Zealand are paid 10% less for doing the same job as men, men are charged 10% more than women in an ad created by Ddb Auckland.
The campaign, which centres around the website demandequalpay.org.nz, hopes to get 10,000 signatures from women and men to pressure the government into making salaries fairer.
Monica Briggs, CEO of Ywca Auckland said: “It is the belief of the Ywca Auckland that by raising public awareness around this issue and giving some education around the facts, that people will debate the issue and just as importantly, pledge their support at demandequalpay.org.nz – so that government can be urged to adopt the Pay Equality Bill, drafted by Dr Judy McGregor, the out-going Equal Employment Opportunities Commissioner.
