April 10 was all Women's Equal Pay Day, the day women's earnings "catch up" to men's earnings from the previous year. After decades of fighting, equal pay is better than what it has been in the past, however, we have not yet reached total equity for all women. In honor of this day, we share below some of what we're reading about Equal Pay Day.
This year's theme, "Looking at Mental Illness Through the Lens of Race and Social Justice" will address how institutions like education, health, and criminal justice work to create barriers from childhood through adulthood that specifically impact people of color.
This year’s Women’s History Month was more fervorous than ever! In the wake of the #MeTooMovement and #TimesUp, this month saw women taking to the streets by the millions to fight for gender parity and against sexual harassment.
This year, YWCA staff advocated with program participants and other community members in Olympia for equal housing. Our day was made more special because we invited program participants to advocate for themselves.
Maria Chavez Wilcox, CEO of YWCA Seattle | King | Snohomish, explains why this International Women's Day, we must press for progress for all women in our communities.
We share the stories of our program participants, programs, and staff, as well as news about the agency and what’s happening in our King and Snohomish community.
