October 11, 2015 is Equal Pay Day. This marks the day from which women will work for free compared to men until the end of the year. To draw attention to this difference in income, the initiative "Why not equal? Equal pay!" initiative of recent years is being continued. A total of 30 Linz businesses from various sectors - from the city's museums to food retail, textiles and gastronomy - are taking part in the "-25%" discount campaign and offering women a discount on this day.
2. the ARD - the working group of public broadcasters in the Federal Republic of Germany - wants a women's quota of 20 percent for director positions. In three years, every fifth "Tatort", "Polizeiruf 110" or ARD Wednesday film should be directed by a woman, said ARD program director Volker Herres after an ARD directors' conference in Stuttgart. However, the target of 20 percent was only "a first step", which he wanted to achieve together with the producers, said Herres. The ARD broadcasters had already begun to specifically cast female directors for series productions. For debut films, a ratio of 50:50 has almost been achieved, he said.
