Title | Mind the gap |
Brief | In order to highlight the gender pay gap on Equal Pay Day in Germany, the Berlin Transport Authority launched a subway ticket that cost 21% less than one for men. A combination of media were used to promote the "unequal" ticket and get the message across. Women are paid 21% less, so why should they pay the same amount as men for a subway ticket? And yes, women do "Mind the gap!" |
