Women's Equality Day marks the anniversary of the 19th Amendment, which granted women the right to vote in the United States—a monumental step forward in the fight for gender equality.

We are committed to providing the tools, resources, and support necessary for young women to break barriers, shatter glass ceilings, and lead with confidence.

Moms’ Equal Pay Day, we shed light on the persistent wage gap experienced by mothers in the workplace. The statistics speak volumes: the wage gap is 71 cents for moms working full-time, year-round as compared to fathers working full-time, year-round. But that wage gap widens to 63 cents on the dollar when looking at all working moms as compared to all working fathers. Cultural stereotypes, bias, and workplace design have affected workers with caregiving responsibilities. Pay discrimination continues to limit the economic advancement of mothers. It's time to pay mothers what they're worth.
