DESCRIPTION:\n	(A/RES/74/142)\n\n\n\n	International Equal Pay Day\, cele
	brated on 18 September\, represents the longstanding efforts towards the a
	chievement of equal pay for work of equal value. It further builds on the 
	United Nations' commitment to human rights and against all forms of discri
	mination\, including discrimination against women and girls.\n\n\n\n	Acros
	s all regions\, women are paid less than men\, with the gender pay gap est
	imated at around 20 per cent globally. Gender equality and the empowerment
	 of women and girls continue to be held back owing to the persistence of h
	istorical and structural unequal power relations between women and men\, p
	overty and inequalities and disadvantages in access to resources and oppor
	tunities that limit women’s and girls’ capabilities. Progress on narro
	wing that gap has been slow. While equal pay for men and women has been wi
	dely endorsed\, applying it in practice has been difficult.\n\n\n\n	In ord
	er to ensure that no one is left behind\, the Sustainable Development Goal
	s (SDGs) address the need to achieve gender equality and the empowerment o
	f all women and girls. Furthermore\, the SDGs promote decent work and econ
	omic growth by seeking full and productive employment and decent work for 
	all women and men\, including for young people and persons with disabiliti
	es\, and equal pay for work of equal value. Mainstreaming of a gender pers
	pective is crucial in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainabl
	e Development.\n\n\n\n	Achieving equal pay is an important milestone for h
	uman rights and gender equality. It takes the effort of the entire world c
	ommunity and more work remains to be done. The United Nations\, including 
	UN Women and the International Labour Organization (ILO) invites Members s
	tates and civil society\, women’s and community-based organizations and 
	feminist groups\, as well as businesses and workers’ and employers’ or
	ganizations\, to promote equal pay for work of equal value and the economi
	c empowerment of women and girls.\n\n
