Gender equality is a fundamental human right which MSF is committed to reflect in its operations both internally and externally.

We operate two fair and transparent pay grade systems for our UK/IE-based and international field staff that centres around skills, equal opportunities and performance.

In 2023-24, we reported a mean gender pay gap of 9 percent and a median gender pay gap of 14 percent.

The factors that have contributed to this have been identified and will guide us towards achieving the goal of completely closing a gender pay gap.

We will continue to review our internal policies and procedures; focusing on recruitment and staff retention in our endeavour to reach zero percent.

Please read our 2023-24 Gender Pay Gap Report to find out more about how MSF UK and Ireland are committed closing to the pay gap for good.
