Rejected petition equal pay for women

More details

Even in this modern world, despite attempts from the past to curb this sexism, many women in the workforce are paid less than men even if they have the exact same job.

Signing this petition means closing the gender gap by encouraging the government to re-evaluate current laws on pay equality and how to stop this subtle discrimination against working women and encourage more unemployed women into the workforce.
