Why is there a pay gap? If you have hard data showing the gap, can't you ask for a raise? At least in the US there is a law meant to prevent that - The Equal Pay Act, so paying women less is illegal and maybe this should be pointed out to the administration. If the law is ineffective for some reason - why is it? What loopholes need to be closed?
