Equal pay for men and women is still clearly a problem. We must not lose sight of it. The fact that women to need to work on average until 2 March 2012 in order to earn as much as men had earned by the end of 2011 is not acceptable. We need to be more aware of this. Pay scales must be more transparent. Means of redress must be strengthened to allow women access to justice. Finally, sanctions must be stepped up against employers who fail to respect the principle of equal pay for men and women.
