By the Women and Gender Resource Center Student Leadership Council

Last week was Pay Equity Week on the University campus, the week when people around the country recognize the wage gap between working women and men, and offer remedies to address pay inequity. March is symbolic of the point into the new year that a woman must work in order to earn the wages paid to a man in the previous year. According to the statistics released in 2014 by the United States Census Bureau, women are paid, on average, 77 cents for every dollar their male coun- terparts are paid – a gap of 23 cents. And this is even lower for African American women and Hispanic women by almost 15 cents.

Shiori Suzuki, a senior majoring in education, traveled over 6,700 miles from her hometown of Chiba, Japan, to attend The University of Alabama. Chiba is roughly an hour away from Tokyo, where she departed for a 15-hour flight to Birmingham. When Suzuki first began classes, she said she found them hard to understand, but with the help of her classmates, she acclimated well and now helps American students study Japanese.
