AAUW : Empowering Women Since 1881
Reproductive Rights Are Human Rights
“The nation’s highest court is enabling a vicious system of vigilante lawsuits that aims to turn citizens against one another in furtherance of the most extreme anti-choice agenda.”
An Experiment with Promising Results
This summer, more than 600 teen girls—and 315 of their parents and caregivers—took part in AAUW’s inaugural STEMEd for Girls virtual workshop series. Check out the results and learnings from the program’s first iteration, which was made possible through the generous support of Arconic Foundation, and sign up to receive information about future events.
Apply for a Fellowship or Grant
Follow in the footsteps of award-winning authors, scientists, scholars and trailblazers by applying for educational funding through AAUW. Deadlines run from November to December 2021. Opportunities are available for those pursuing academic work or leading community projects. See if there is an AAUW fellowship or grant that matches your goals!
Prioritize Paid Leave
The percentage of women in the labor force is the lowest it has been in 32 years, and many women cannot return to the workforce without paid leave and reliable and affordable child care. As Congress works through its final budget, tell our lawmakers that these must be top priorities.
Equal Pay for Black Women
“Black women’s earning power has clearly been hurt by the pandemic, and that will certainly contribute to a widened pay gap.”
Pandemic Inequity
Latinas are a vital base of support for the U.S. economy and a highly influential group of voters. They’ve also suffered some of the most egregious economic and health consequences of the pandemic. Our report highlights the challenges Latinas faced during COVID-19 and provides policy recommendations for fixing systemic failures. It also shares Latinas’ heartbreaking personal stories in their own words.
