Activity 2: Equal Pay for Equal Work?

Fiao’o Fa’amausili was the captain of the New Zealand (NZ) Black Ferns, our

national women’s rugby team, until 2018. The Black Ferns have been a very successful team,winning the
Women’s Rugby World Cup a record five times. Wow!

Despite this success, the Black ferns have only recently become ‘professional’

rugby players who are paid to play rugby. Although they are paid,

the Black Ferns make less money than members

of the men’s professional rugby team - the All Blacks.
This difference in pay is often called the gender pay gap’ and it is not
uncommon in sports

I Agree that all Athletes Genders should get the same amount of payment that every other Men Athletes receive,
Because It’s not fair that Women Athletes wins a tournament and does not get the less payment than the men.
