Urge support of legislation in the U.S. House and Senate that would prevent sexual exploitation and trafficking of minors and boost support for survivors.
[8]Urge High-Wage Jobs for WomenContact your House member now and urge her or him to co-sponsor the Women WIN Jobs Act that will ensure women have access to high-paying occupations.
Urge U.S. lawmakers to recognize poverty and violence affect women disproportionately and policies must work to reconcile these differences.
At this critical time in our economy, we need to amplify women’s voices and leadership by investing in women-led solutions, and by making sure that women are present at the table where policy decisions are made. We also need to advocate for equal pay for equal work, and increased resources to support families, including access to education, employment and healthcare.
