Icelandic women leave their jobs at 2:38 p.m. to demand equal pay

  • Thousands of Icelandic women have left their jobs at 2:38 p.m. on Monday in a protest organized by the unions and the feminist movement. They want to denounce the fact that on average women earn less than men in wages and demand an end to the inequality.

Milaka emakume Reykjavik-eko kaleetan.

The time of 14:38 was not chosen by chance. Compared to the salary that men earn, they want to denounce every day that during the working day women work without being paid after that time.

It has been reported that if we look at the trend of reducing this inequality in recent decades, it will take another 52 years to eliminate gender inequality.

There have been protests all over the country.The hashtag #kvennafri is being used on social media.

The video below shows the protest of thousands of women in the main square of Reykjavik.
