To begin to close the gender wage gap, women need updated comprehensive equal pay legislation, such as the Paycheck Fairness Act, 23 that will strengthen existing protections and further combat discriminatory practices. Other robust work-family policies are also essential to truly combating the multifaceted gender wage gap so that women—who disproportionately assume much of the caregiving responsibilities in their families—are not unfairly disadvantaged by taking time to address care needs. Access to paid sick days and a comprehensive paid family and medical leave (FMLA) program are just two of the essential policies that would help minimize job loss and bridging the economic security gap for all working mothers.
Beyond public policy, as a society we must confront cultural biases that continue to harm women—particularly women of color—by devaluing their work and confining them to specific gender roles. Only by enacting essential policies and shifting cultural attitudes can the United States begin to dismantle the patriarchal structures that systematically disadvantage and shortchange women and their families. Join us in continuing to amplify our voices by celebrating women’s right to vote, and supporting bridging the gap for equal pay and FMLA.
