Equal pay is a right, but women across Africa are still paid far less than men.
🪙 For every $1 earned by men in Africa, women receive just $0.35.
This is about more than what women are paid. It’s also about who gets access to employment, who has opportunities to build a business, who carries unpaid care responsibilities, and whose work is valued.
That's why economic empowerment matters. 💪
On , we’re celebrating our local partners who are investing in women and girls so they can build vocational skills, start enterprises, earn an income, and have greater control over their futures. 💜
