Take Action
Change begins with you.
While the movements of the 60s and 70s generated major victories for women, a lot remains to be done to ensure full equality and trusted citizenship for every woman.
Did you know that:
- About 3 million women are physically abused by their husband/boyfriend each year.
- 36% of polled women say that they often experience discrimination getting promotions to supervisory positions
- In 2005, women were paid 77 cents for every dollar men received.
Women have experienced many individual successes, but change for all women won’t happen unless we continue to insist on it. Don’t let complacency hamper our daughters and granddaughters’ future.
Speak up. Take action. This section of the CFAW’s website tells you how.
