On this day, 36 years ago, the #VelvetRevolution began. Students gathered in Prague and demanded more democracy. A peaceful movement that changed the course of history — and still inspires Europe today.

Imagine working for free from today until the end of the year. 👩🏼‍💻 #EUEqualPayDay marks an unfair truth: the EU gender pay gap is still 12%.
