The Wages for Housework  movement started internationally during the 1970s, specifically in Italy. The Wages for Housework started as a global social movement that addressed the inequality in gender roles and pay gap for domestic work. It also addressed the woman’s right to work outside the home, and ineligibility for benefits and equal pay. Some of the tactics people used to bring awareness to this movement were, protesting their rights, creating strikes, forming press releases and starting Feminist Collective movement.  The Wages for Housework resulted in less gender discrimination, allowing women to working any jobs they want, equal pay act of 1963  and allowing women to be part of work force and equal to their male counter-part. Now there are more resources available for women who do domestic work and can now venture into different jobs and attend school to further their education.  Although the issues regarding Wages for Housework are still unfortunately ongoing because of societal factors.
