The prime minister of Iceland<\/a> went on strike Tuesday in protest of gender discrimination.<\/p>\n

Prime Minister Katrin Jakobsd\u00f3ttir joined women across the country in a national demonstration against pay discrimination and gendered violence.<\/a><\/p>\n

“We have not yet reached our goals of full gender equality and we are still tackling the gender-based wage gap, which is unacceptable in 2023,” Jakobsd\u00f3ttir\u00a0told news outlet mbl.is.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The nationwide protest, referred to as a “women’s strike,” is the first full day of widespread female absence from the workforce since 1975.<\/p>\n

“I will not work this day, as I expect all the women [in cabinet] will do as well,” Jakobsd\u00f3ttir said.<\/p>\n

The original protest aimed to emphasize the importance of women in the workforce and urge an end to disparate wages between female and male workers.<\/p>\n

Women in Iceland earn approximately 10% less on average compared to their male counterparts, according to the World Economic Forum.<\/a><\/p>\n

As Icelandic women’s rights movements have made greater headway in their campaigns, the scope and meaning of the protests have expanded to include other issues.<\/p>\n

“We are still tackling gender-based violence, which has been a priority for my government to tackle,” Jakobsd\u00f3ttir\u00a0said.<\/p>\n

Iceland consistently ranks among the most gender-equal countries in the world in terms of education, employment and health care.<\/p>\n

Jakobsd\u00f3ttir’s cabinet maintains an equal number of men and women and Iceland’s national parliament hovers just under 50% female.<\/p>\n

Past Icelandic women’s strikes have sparked similar protests in other European countries.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
