The significance of closing the pay gap and making sure that each woman receive her fair pay. The president in 2012 addressed to the nation that he was going to obligate to equal pay for both men and women and stated that a nation created to survive for years is one that promotes the ability and creativity of every person in the world.

Was blocked by the senate republicans in June.
