For the first time, the International Equal Pay Day is being celebrated on September 18, 2020, around the world to celebrate the accomplishment of 'equal pay for work of equal value'. The celebration of the day also represents the efforts towards the attainment of the objective.



The UN General Assembly assumed the resolution manifesting 18 September as International Equal Pay Day on 15 November 2019. The resolution was set in motion by the EPIC (Equal Pay International Coalition) with the assistance of Canada, Germany, Australia, Switzerland, South Africa, Panama, and New Zealand. The objective of the EPIC is to accomplish equal pay for women and is led by the ILO (International Labour Organization), UN Women and partners.



On this occasion, the Equal Pay International Coalition will host a 'virtual global call to action' to motivate all labour market performers to take the mandatory actions to make sure that equal pay is at the core of the mending efforts across the globe.
