En France, la fédération française de l’ONG Business & Professional Women (BPW) l’a fixée au 15 avril.
	The Network of Business and Professional Women (BPW) said it wanted to focus public attention on pay inequality, claiming that Austrian women must work 73 more days than men, on average, in order to receive the same amount of pay annually for the same work.
