Whether at the Commission on the Status of Women in New York, the World Economic Forum in Davos, or the Women's Economic Summit in Reykjavik, we talk about money at every opportunity! We discuss with decision-makers and experts the most effective ways to achieve equal pay for equal work and work of equal value.

Because money is the key to almost everything. Gender equality is the most important cross-cutting issue in the United Nation’s 17 Sustainability Development Goals. Achieving equality means creating a basis for equal opportunities, sustainability, and climate protection. "Equal pay for work of equal value" is SDG goal 8.5 - and it’s probably no coincidence that 8.5 is right in the middle of 17.

Achieving this goal requires bold companies and legislation that sets a clear course. In our series Fair Pay Around the World, we take a look at equal pay laws around the world.
