ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Equal Pay Day

Equal Pay Day is a day where we talk about why it's important for everyone to get paid the same amount of money for doing the same job. So imagine two people, a boy and a girl, they both have a lemonade stand, and they both sell the same amount of lemonade. That means they should both have the same amount of money. But sometimes, when they grow up and get jobs, the boy might get more money than the girl even if they do the same job. That's not fair, and that's why we have Equal Pay Day to remind everyone that everyone should get paid the same amount of money for doing the same job, no matter if they are a boy or a girl.
