Sequin's Perk Partners are fighting the Pink Tax.
Sequin Perk Partners are women founded & focused companies committed to paying back the hidden costs to being a woman.
What is the Pink Tax?
Women pay more than men 42% of the time for everyday products and services. Studies find that women make 80 cents compared to a man’s dollar, with women of color earning even less than that. Reports also found that more than two thirds of people with student debt are women.
The Pink Tax does not only apply to care and luxury products, but it is also harmful to women’s overall financial goals, leading to higher banking fees, interest rates, and more.
The financial challenges that women face:
