Ticker Tape Parade, New York | Equal wages for women


“A win for the fourth time, isn’t that great?” – say the Americans after the women’s national team won the world football championship for the fourth time. The team’s victory was celebrated with a ticker tape parade. This support has come to limelight after the campaign by the players on equal pay for women gained popularity.



A gathering comprised of a thousand fans lined along the Broadway, ‘Canyon of Heroes’ side stretches. The gathering was there to praise the players who were taken from battery to city hall via ‘Canyon of Heroes’. The players were given the symbolic keys to the city by Bill de Blasio, Mayor of New York City (NYC).

The ceremony was conducted amidst the demands of pay equity with men by women. This issue has gained enough momentum that compelled the mayor himself to lead the mass that chanted “USA! Equal Pay” the entire day. The players, Carli Lloyd, Megan Rapinoe and Alex Morgan addressed the crowd at the ceremony.
