Native American women have one of the largest wage gaps in the country, earning approximately 51 cents per dollar paid to the average white man. This gap can lead to While it would take almost a full additional year to catch up on earnings, Native Women’s Equal Pay Day is being observed on Nov. 30, the last day of Native American Heritage Month.
“We know that there’s historic barriers to economic opportunity for Native women, and they just get compounded when it comes to pay,” Noreen Farrell, director of Equal Rights Advocates, told. “There’s a lack of affordable health are access, equity, reproductive healthcare access and a lack of food sovereignty for Native American women. And all of these things come in a perfect storm when there isn’t enough money in the paycheck.
This wage gap does more than severely limit the economic stability for Native women—it perpetuates the longstanding impacts of colonialism and state-sanctioned violence on Native and Indigenous communitiesEquity for Native women means listening to the needs and demands of Native communities for respect of sovereignty, ceremony and culture. It means raising awareness and seeking justice for missing and murdered Indigenous women .
At 51 cents on the dollar for white men, the average Native woman must work twice as hard, so we need to be twice as determined to close the gender and race-based wage gap.Raise awareness on social media for Native Women’s Equal Pay Day, using the hashtags
