Women still earn, on average, only 77 cents for every dollar earned by men. Sexual harassment, sexual stereotyping that bars the door to hiring and advancement opportunities, and other blatant and subtle forms of discrimination are still too common. That is why the Center is working to ensure the full enforcement of the laws against sexual harassment and other forms of discrimination on the job, to strengthen the laws mandating pay equity, and to preserve and defend affirmative action programs that open opportunities for qualified women to show what they can do.
