A petition to Parliament today asking the Government to address ethnic and gender pay gaps.

MindtheGap says the first step needs to be mandatory paygap reporting for businesses with more than 50 workers.

Co-Founder Jo Cribb says the gender pay gap is at 9.2 percent, and is even higher for Pacific women.

She says there are measures we could take, to fill these gaps.

Cribb says we should get rid of clauses which prevent employees from discussing their salaries.

The petition has just under nine thousand signatures.
