Maintaining financial wellness in today's turbulent economy can feel like an impossible job. The task is even more arduous for women, with 2025 studies placing the global gender pay gap around 20%. Though that divide is closing, its existence means there is still work to be done to ensure equal pay for equal work.
Join Women's Media Group for a timely discussion about the relationship between gender, race, and pay equity. We will be joined by a panel of industry leaders to explore the real challenges women face—and the strategies that actually work to get the compensation we deserve.
