Gender gap influences the purchase of coffee in Australia.

In a cafe in Melbourne, Australia, men are being charged a monthly optional surcharge.

This is to help donate money to support services for Aboriginal women.

The Handsome Her cafe aims to challenge the gender pay gap with this novel idea.

Men on average earns 17.7% earns more than women for full time work in Australia. According to the cafe manager Belle Ngien, a voluntary donation collected during one week every month is given to women's charities.

Although many people see this as being discriminatory, Handsome Her has collected 200 dollars for Elizabeth Morgan House Aboriginal Women's Service. If nothing else it has promoted a conversation.
