Women and nonbinary people in Iceland, including the country's prime minister, went on strike Tuesday in protest of the country's gender pay gap.

Organizers of the strike encouraged women and nonbinary people to stop paid and unpaid work for a full day, including childcare, household chores and "other responsibilities related to the family or home."

Thousands of women gathered on Arnarhóll, a hill in the country's capital city of Reykjavík, and about a couple dozen other events were held around the country, such as in Drangsnes, Hvmmstangi and Raufarhöfn.

Women earn about 21% less than men, according to the organizers, and lower wages in Iceland are most distinct among immigrant women, women who work in sanitation and with children, disabled people and elderly people.
