WOMEN’S STRIKE
Women in Iceland are encouraged to leave work at 2:55 p.m. on Wednesday October 24th, 2018 to protest income inequality and sexual harassment and violence in the workplace. Our demand is Don’t Change Women, Change the World!

Women work for free after kl. 2:55 p.m. in Iceland!

According to the newest figures from Iceland Statistics, the average wages of women in Iceland are only 74% of the average wages of men. Women are therefore paid 26% less on average than men. Therefore, women have earned their wages after only 5 hours and 55 minutes, in an average workday of from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Women stop being paid for their work at 2:55 p.m.
DON'T CHANGE WOMEN, CHANGE THE WORLD!
We have had enough! Let’s walk out to protest gender income inequality and violence and harassment in the workplace at 2:55 p.m. on October 24th, 2018.
