Activity 2: Equal Pay for Equal Work?

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 than members of the men's professional rugby team - the All Blacks. This difference in pay is often called 'gender pay gap' and it is not uncommon in sports. My thoughts on this are very biased. I don't think it's fair female Rugby players are payed less, because they are different genders but play the same sport. They should be paid equally because they're doing the same things.

For this Summer Learning Journey teaser week activity, we had to give our thoughts and opinions on the situation of equal pay with the Womens and Mens rugby teams in New Zealand. I explain what's going on in the description, and my point of view.
