What is STILLMindingTheGap?
StillMindingTheGap.nz is campaigning for urgent action to reduce New Zealand’s gender and ethnic pay gaps.
New Zealand women earning the median wage are losing $25.36 per week because the Government has not acted on pay gap reporting.
For wahine Māori, its $58.40 a week; for Pacific women it’s $76.40.
If the Government made gender pay gap reporting compulsory for large businesses, the gender pay gap would shrink by 20–40 percent.
Every week the Government stalls, women and their families pick up the tab: at the supermarket, in their power bill, to their landlords.
We want the Government to make pay gap reporting mandatory for businesses over a certain size as an important step to close unjustified pay gaps.
