BPW Equal Pay Day in Europe 
On 15th April 2010 - the BPW Europe Equal Pay Day is an occasion to remember that in ALL European countries still exists a Gender Pay Gap between women and men.
Women's accounts are in the red - In the European Union, the average Gender Pay Gap is 17% (comparison between hourly salaries)
Women above 65 are also the population most as risk of fall in poverty - as they earned less, they have also lower pensions.
Mark with the Federations and clubs of BPW Europe the Equal Pay Day and work with us towards solutions
