Description: The logo for the Coalition for Equal Value Equal Pay (NZ) appears on every page. The women's symbol has been added to with a horizontal bar representing a set of scales with two weighing machines. One is titled equal value, the other equal pay. CEVEP is lobbying for equal value for equal pay. The image is not completely coloured in as women still only earn 80% of men's wages.

Description: The greyscale picture shows two toddlers, maybe 2 years old, standing beside each other. They are very similar, but one has slightly fluffier hair witha bow in it and is presumably female, while the other is presumably male. Both are looking into their underpants. There is a caption which reads: "Oh! That explains the difference in our wages."
Description: The greyscale picture shows two girls, maybe 5 years old, facing each other. The girl on the left is wearing a shirt and jersey, trackpants and gumboots. She has something which might be a skipping rope behind her back. Her dark hair seems to be pulled back in a pony tail. She is facing the other girl and smiling.
The girl on the right is wearing a frock, long-sleeved skivvy, tartan tights and maybe ballet shoes. She seems to have long blonde hair. She has her right hand on her head and is facing the girl on the left.
Both are standing on a small patch of grass and there are a lot of people round about. One or two are looking in the direction of the girls.
This picture is taken from a poster produced in 1989 prior to the passing of the Employment Equity Act 1990.

Description: The graph measures the growth in numbers of women completing their first bachelor programme in the years 1971, 1991 and 1997. Three bars showing an increasing number of women graduates from 29% in 1971 to 48% by 1991, represent these years. This is a basic graph with no details of the scale provided. Instead only the years are listed above their respective bar. Arrows between the bars point to the rising numbers of educated women who in 1997 are the majority of bachelor degree graduates.
Description: The graph has a scale on the left from 10000 at the bottom to 60000 at the top. Across the bottom is a scale from 1972 on the left to 1997 on the right marked off in 5-year intervals.
