12.01.2022 Diese Woche findet der Internationale Frauentag #IWD2021 und der #EqualPayDay in Deutschland statt. Weltweit gibt es viel zu tun, um die Differenz des durchschnittlichen Bruttostudenverdienstes von Frauen und Männern (Gender Pay Gap) zu verringern, die in bei 13,4 % (2020) und in bei rund 19 % (2019) liegt. Das Schließen der Gender Pay Gap geht aber über die Sicherstellung gleicher Bezahlung hinaus. Es erfordert einen kulturellen Wandel, um die Barrieren abzubauen, die ...einer vollen und gleichberechtigten Teilhabe von Frauen an der Arbeitswelt entgegenstehen. #IWD Erfahre hier mehr darüber, was beide Länder tun, um das Lohngefälle zu verringern: Australien: https://bit.ly/388AQt1 Deutschland: https://bit.ly/38fR7MR

11.01.2022 Today is International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. This year, UN Women is asking people to #OrangeTheWorld today, and for the #16Days of Activism on gender-based violence, by wearing the colour orange, and making buildings and social media orange. Australia joins partners around the world, to support UN Women’s calls for collective efforts to promote approaches to violence against women and girls, which ‘Fund, Respond, Prevent, Collect.’ DFAT’s COVID-1...9 response strategy, ‘Partnerships for Recovery’ places gender equality and the elimination of violence against women as a key priority for Australia. Now, more than ever, coming together to end violence against women and girls, is key to creating a more gender-equal world and inclusive societies for all. #IDEVAW #GBV #EVAW
