What does this shirt mean?
The wage gap is real, and it impacts women and gender diverse people in specific ways: Intersectional barriers to equitable wages persist.
In Canada, white women earn on average, 71% of what men earn. As a whole group, women of colour earn 59% of what men earn.
South Asian women earn 55%, Black women earn 58.5% and Indigenous women earn 35% less than non indigenous men.
Approximately 50% of transgender Canadians earn less than $15.000/year.
By wearing this shirt, you are part of the change and actively bringing awareness to these truths.
In our collective activism, we can ignite change + end the wage gap.
