'Keeping Pace' or Losing the Race? The EU Pay Transparency Directive

Explore what the PTD, which covers issues like the gender pay gap, could mean for women in NI & discuss why it hasn’t been implemented yet. The EU Pay Transparency Directive covers issues such as the gender pay gap, pay transparency when applying for jobs, and other progressive measures. Due to the Article 2 of the Windsor Framework obligation to ‘keep pace’ with relevant EU equality and human rights standards, this Directive was meant to be implemented in NI by June 2026, which has not happened as of yet. At this event, we will explore what the Directive entails, where the implementation responsibilities lie, and what impact the Directive could have on women in this place. We will be joined by Clare Moore (Equality Officer, Irish Congress of Trade Unions), Megan McDermott (Policy and Research Officer, Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission), and Edel Quinn (Senior Policy Officer, Equality Commission for Northern Ireland).
