Equality in Action: Icelandic Women Rally Against Persistent Wage Disparities | |
Last week, Icelandic women made a powerful statement against enduring wage disparities and violence, orchestrating a collective strike known as “Kvennafrí” or “Women’s Day Off.” This protest shed light on persistent challenges, despite Iceland’s commendable progress in narrowing the gender pay gap, achieving the world’s highest gender parity score, according to the World Economic Forum. Iceland acknowledged for strides in education, political empowerment, and economic opportunities, has a rich history of women’s activism. In 1975, a similar strike triggered significant advancements, including the election of the country’s first female president. However, nearly fifty years later, thousands united to emphasize the existing 10.2% pay gap (as per the OECD) or a more substantial 21% gap, as reported by the WEF. Despite legal mandates requiring employers to demonstrate equal pay for men and women, concerns persist regarding the sustained wage disparities. Contributing factors include the concentration of women in lower-paid and undervalued professions, such as teaching, cleaning, and healthcare. Even Iceland’s Prime Minister, Katrín Jakobsdóttir, participated in the strike, underscoring that the nation has yet to achieve full gender equality. The strike caused disruptions in various sectors, including businesses, schools, hospitals, and museums.
