- Equal Pay Day has been started in 2008 by BPW Germany. In 2009 BPW International promoted it as our first international campaign at a side-event in New York. And it was immediately taken by Australia and New Zealand and some other countries. Today more and more Federations are organizing Equal Pay Day events with a lot of creativity as you can see by these pictures.

- Some background information about BPW Europe and ECC: In the course of the 1960s and 1970s, several relatively informal international meetings were held for German-speaking and some for francophone BPW. There seemed to be a general desire for contacts and cooperation across national borders. In 1977, the International Federation of Business and Professional Women (IFBPW) was accredited to the Council of Europe and received consultative status along with some 200 NGOs. Marcelle Devaud was nominated Permanent Representative and Michelle Laublé (both of France) her alternate. Michelle Laubé, then President of the Strasbourg Club, invited all European BPW Presidents and interested members to the 1st European Conference which took place in September 1981. In October 1985, the 17th International Congress of BPW International in Auckland, New Zealand, voted to set up five regions, headed by Regional Coordinators. Marian Waats was elected to this position for Europe. In September 1990, through the hard work of women such as Marcelle Devaud and Emilienne Brunfaut, the European Women’s Lobby was founded in Brussels. BPW is a member of the European Women’s Lobby and Renata Blodow was the first delegate of the European Federations of BPW to the EWL. The presidents of the European Federations of BPW International decided to created the European Coordinating Committee to support the work of the Regional Coordinator. In January 2009, the presidents of the European Federations of BPW International created a legal structure to run common projects at European level : BPW European Coordination aisbl (association internationale sans but lucratif – international non profit organisation). The executive Board of BPW Europe is made of the European Regional Coordinator and members of the ECC. In 2010 the presidents decided in Vienna to have the annual presidents meeeting in Brussels to be in closer contact to the European Commission and other European organizations.
- The European congress was held in Sorrento, Italy from 28 – 30 September 2012. At the same time the Young BPW International Congress took place. 350 Women from all the around the world participated in this congress. The Theme was: «Empowering Women for Leadership – Womens Innovation for a sustainable future.»
