This party wants women to be paid fairly compared to men, in both government and private jobs. They want employers to publish pay data by sex and ethnicity. They support income support for mothers and carers, saying that caring work contributes to society. They also want minimum wages and benefits raised so all people, especially women, have enough money to live on as they age.
“We advocate for effective policies to deliver pay equity in private sector as well as public sector jobs, including a strong onus on employers, publication of average hourly pay statistics by occupation, sex and ethnicities, and reinstatement of legislative support for Fair Pay Agreements.”
“Minimum wages and benefits need to be increased so that all people have living incomes.”
“The Women's Rights Party advocates for income support while raising our children or caring for our elders, recognising that mothering and caring is work and contributes to society.”

The party would legislate for pay equity in the private sector as well as the public, reinstate support for Fair Pay Agreements, and pay income support to people raising children or caring for elders. On retirement, it targets a KiwiSaver gap it puts at 25 percent between women and men, with four specific changes — including a State contribution to the KiwiSaver of unpaid carers, and continued employer contributions through maternity leave.
