Currently the gender pay gap sits at 8.6%, but for Pasifika women they have an 18% pay gap in comparison to PΔkeha men - that's 82c earned by a Pasifika woman for ever $1 earned by a PΔkeha man. #MindTheGap
In 2016 the gender pay gap for Pasifika women was the lowest for women, at only 67%. #nzpol

I wish more people understood that when disabled folks ask for the bare minimum in accessibility instead of responding with dismissiveness and apathy when asked for small accessibility changes.
