Why is Black Women's Equal Pay Day important?

Did you know that in 2023, Black women lost a staggering $42.7 billion in wages compared to white men? This is a stark reminder of the systemic barriers and job segregation that continue to affect Black women's earning potential. On average, Black women earn only 69 cents for every dollar earned by non-Hispanic white men for full-time, year-round work. These disparities are driven by various factors, from educational barriers and caregiving responsibilities to pervasive discrimination in hiring and promotions. * Read The March 2024 U.S. Department of Labor Still Bearing The Cost Report *

Equal Pay Day should truly reflect the reality that not every woman experiences the same wage discrimination. Failing to acknowledge the deeper pay disparities faced by Black, Latina, and Native American women overlooks the critical intersection of race and gender. It is high time we redefine our approach to ensure fair pay for all, understanding that our struggle for equality is not solely about gender, but also about the diverse experiences within it.
