CHICAGO — SHENIX®, a leading educational fintech platform, is excited to announce the launch of their groundbreaking app just in time for Hispanic Heritage Month and Oct. 5 which is designated as Latina Equal Pay Day. Designed specifically for Latinas, the SHENIX® app empowers Latinas to make informed financial decisions for themselves, their families, careers, businesses, and communities. The app is free at Apple’s iOS and Google’s Play stores and provides round-the-clock support to alleviate the stress of uninformed financial choices.
“We are excited to be a part of the collective efforts across the U.S. that are seeking to end Latina Equal Pay Day and help maximize the full potential of every Latina economically and socially, and support them as they build their financial legacy,” Olga Camargo, CEO and founder of SHENIX®, said.
According to the Washington, D.C.-based Labor Council for Latina American Advancement, Latina Equal Pay Day, according to the California Commission on the Status of Women, “is the approximate day Latinas must work into the new year to make what a White non-Hispanic man made at the end of the previous year. Latinas typically earn only 55 cents for every dollar earned by white, non-Hispanic men and must work nearly 23 months to earn what white men earn in 12 months.”
