Violet Schembri Visits The RGP
When Violet Schembri joined the RGP in 1964, her starting pay was £8 per week at a time when her male colleagues were being paid £10 a week. ‘But in those times, £8 a week was considered good wages for a woman in Gibraltar,’ said Violet. ‘And, although the men got £2 more, they did all the night shifts and patrolled the streets which we girls didn’t do.’
