Women
It is shameful that despite many advances, full and lasting equality for women remains elusive. It is fundamentally wrong to pay women less for the same work and to restrict women’s access to healthcare. Sadly, this structural sexism is even worse for women of color.
In Congress, Congresswoman Lee is working to ensure equal pay for equal work, to expand access to affordable childcare and to ensure access to paid family leave. Additionally, she is the author of the EACH Woman Act which would repeal the discriminatory Hyde Amendment that has restricted many women’s access to reproductive healthcare.
