AAUW Information Session highlights Public Policy and Legal
Since AAUW¹s founding members have spoken out about policies important to women and girls. Legislation including the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act, and the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act would have never been passed without their voices. Current public policy focuses on equal rights, public education, various social, economic, environmental and health issues. AAUW's Legal Advocacy Fund (LAF) works to challenge sex discrimination in higher education and the workplace.
