Brands raise awareness for the 'Pink Tax' in the fight for gender equality
Implications - Brands are bringing awareness to the issue of the Pink Tax, where products targeted towards women and girls tend to be more expensive than those targeted towards men and boys. This discrepancy further entrenches economic inequality as it reduces women's buying power, a fact which is now slowly seeing both legislative and corporate changes. The readjustment of this subtle but hugely impactful form of discrimination speaks to the increased consumer awareness of how inequality impacts even minute, day-to-day decisions.
