Seems like it’s high time American women did this too.
50 years ago today, on October 24, 1975, women shut down #Iceland. They walked out of their homes and workplaces to highlight the importance of women in Icelandic society. No housework, no child care, no office work. The country came to a complete standstill.
That day has been described as a watershed moment for Iceland. Today, the country ranks as one of the most gender-equal in the world.
At the time of the “day off” in 1975, Iceland’s pay gap was 40%. As of 2022, it has decreased to 9.7%, making Iceland one of the few countries in the world where women are paid almost as much as men.
Yet globally, we still have work to do. The World Economic Forum’s 2025 Report shows the gender gap has only closed slightly, from 68.6% in 2024 to 69.0% in 2025. At the current pace, it will take 123 years to reach full parity. source

Those being doxxed include outgoing Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor, Chung and police assistant commissioner Joe Chan Tung, who heads police's cyber security and technology crime bureau. The imprisonment came as Telegram said it was "surprised" by claims that privacy commissioner Ada Chung Lai-ling is seeking to block the messaging app due to doxxing content targeting police and politicians. While some crypto traders move toward screaming as a coping mechanism, many mental health experts have argued that “scream therapy” is pseudoscience. Scientific research or no, it obviously feels good. The initiatives announced by Perekopsky include monitoring the content in groups. According to the executive, posts identified as lacking context or as containing false information will be flagged as a potential source of disinformation. The content is then forwarded to Telegram's fact-checking channels for analysis and subsequent publication of verified information.
