About the Work

March 18th is Equal Pay Day in Germany - a day nobody really notices. Few realise that Germany has a gender pay gap of 21% - the 2nd largest in Europe. To highlight this inequality, BVG created the Frauenticket (Women’s Ticket) - the world’s first ticket allowing women to travel for 21% less. On Equal Pay Day, BVG brought the Women’s Ticket to over 600 ticket machines across Berlin and installed a special Women’s Ticket Machine in the city centre. The machine used gender recognition technology to identify women and offer a full range of 21% discounted tickets - even yearly tickets with savings of 160 euros. The Women’s Ticket brought the German equal pay discussion into global news on March 18th. But paying 21% less won't solve the problem - earning 21% more will. That's why BVG used the action as a recruitment drive promising Berlin women guaranteed equal pay for equal work. The BVG Women's Ticket story brought the Gender Pay Gap discussion onto the evening news of every German broadcaster on Equal Pay Day, March 18th. The initiative sparked a discussion on gender equality and equal pay all over the world.
