Just over three out of four employees at the fund are women, which underscores their importance to the operation — without them, the fund cannot provide direct service to its members. Therefore, we encourage members to use the fund’s online services on My Pages on October 24 or send us a message, which will be answered after the weekend.

LSR places great emphasis on gender equality in its operations. The fund has implemented an equal pay policy and an equality plan, has been certified for equal pay since 2021, and recently received the Jafnvægisvogin recognition for the sixth time.

The fund encourages all women and non-binary people to participate in the organized events marking the Women’s Strike, and men to show their support for the cause and take responsibility both at work and at home.
