READING:
Women in Iceland went on strike on Tuesday for greater gender equality. The prime minister also took part in the strike. She told reporters about the "Women's Day Off". She said: "We have not yet reached our goals of full gender equality and we are still tackling the gender-based wage gap, which is unacceptable in 2023." Women in Iceland stopped work to show how important they are to society."
The strike was the seventh in Iceland's history and the first in 50 years. The last strike was in 1975. A year later, Iceland passed an equal pay law. In 1980, Iceland became the first European country to have a woman leader. Iceland has had the smallest gender gap in the world for 14 years. However, the prime minister wants to lower gender-based violence. She said it was a top goal for her government.
