On Native Women’s Equal Pay Day, help us raise awareness about the wage gap for Native American women and its impact on these hard-working women and their families. Native Women’s Equal Pay Day will take place on Wednesday, September 8, which is the day when Native American women’s pay finally catches up to what white men were paid last year.
Native American women earn approximately 60 cents for every dollar that white men earn, and women in indigenous communities are more likely to experience poverty, high levels of unemployment and other challenges in their lives.
