Equal Pay Day is a symbolic date intended to draw attention to the gender pay gap. It represents how much further into a new year women have to work, on average, to earn the median pay of men in the previous year. For America, this year that day was April 10 — a six day increase on 2017.
To draw attention to the issue, Ellen busted out a rather fitting pair of sneakers: the black 'Holi.' Designed by Ellen's good friend , the shoes feature the word 'equality' on the left upper and the Hindi word 'sansār' on the right, which roughly translates to 'world.'
