Tuesday, August 26th is Women’s Equality Day.
New York State has a long, proud tradition of leading the way with women’s rights.
There is still work to be done and my colleagues and I in the Senate passed bills that will further strengthen equality in our state.
Among other key objectives, the Women’s Equality Agenda will:
- Ensure equal pay for equal work;
- Combat sexual harassment and domestic violence; and
- Toughen Human Trafficking laws.
Unfortunately, the Assembly has refused to take action on these important bills.
For information regarding the Women’s Equality Agenda and to lend your support please visit womensequality.pgtb.me/QRJSzh. The site also highlights historical achievements of women in New York and across the country.
