Workplace Justice

With women paid only 81 cents for every dollar paid to men, it’s clear that we have a long way to go to make the workplace fair for women in the United States.

Women and LGBTQIA+ people continue to confront harassment and discrimination in the workplace, as attacks on programs that seek to promote gender equity and inclusion mount. Women, and especially women of color, are also over-represented in low-paid jobs with unstable work schedules and few benefits. It doesn’t have to be this way.

Equal Pay & the Wage Gap

No matter how you slice it, women in the U.S. who work full time are paid less than men.

Fair Work Schedules

Unpredictable, volatile work schedules in low-wage jobs can make it impossible for working women to make ends meet and care for their families.

Legal Network for Gender Equity

The Legal Network for Gender Equity connects people who face sex discrimination — like sex harassment — at work, at school, or when getting health care, with legal assistance.

Pregnancy, Parenting & the Workplace

No pregnant woman should have to choose between her health and her family’s economic security.

Sexual Harassment in the Workplace

Sexual harassment pushes women and LGBTQIA+ people out of careers and drives workplace inequality.

TIME'S UP Legal Defense Fund

The TIME’S UP Legal Defense Fund helps to pay for legal fees for select cases of workplace sex harassment and related retaliation.
