It’s 2018 and women are STILL being paid less than men for doing exactly the same job.

It’s infuriating, it’s depressing, it probably makes you want to scream in pure frustration, correct?

Well, thanks to Footloose Travel you can take a break and do a different type of screaming for a bit - the adrenaline fuelled kind - thanks to an exclusive discount for female customers to mark Women’s Equality Day on Sunday 27th August.

The Adventure travel specialists are highlighting inequality by offering a saving of £184 on all bookings made by females, in line with the 18.4% national annual pay gap between men and women in the UK.

No, it’s not going to solve the problem, but hey - every little helps. Eleanor Hopkinson, of Footloose Travel, says, “We believe that equality for women around the world and at home is an important issue that needs to be continually recognised and if we can help to bring that issue into the spotlight this Women’s Equality Day we are honoured to do so.”

The new offer also comes with some interesting stats - specifically an increase in bookings from solo female travellers. In fact, in 2017/18 so far, the company say that 58% of solo bookings have come from women. So, if you fancy getting your adventure on and attempting to forget the state of the country right now, get yo’self over to Footloose Travel on Tuesday 29th August, because this offer is valid for one day only.

Ever so dramatic.
