We're mobilizing for Equal Pay Day!

April 16, 2024 is Equal Pay Day. It symbolizes how far into the next year the average woman must work in order to have earned what the average man had earned in the previous year.

Meet the Coalition

 
Since 1976, the non-partisan Equal Pay Coalition has been the main advocate for women’s pay equity in Ontario.
 
We unite 40+ women’s groups, trade unions, community groups and business organizations representing hundreds of thousands of women and gender diverse people across the province.

The pay gap harms all women—but some have it worse.

Indigenous women 42%
Black women 42%
Women with Disabilities 43%
Arab women 47%
