?What Women Want?

By Ann Bartow

From here:

According to a recent poll by the National Women’s Law Center, women feel the impact of economic insecurity and rising food, energy, education, and health care costs more deeply than men ? and see government as a key to the solution.

Women want:

• A better health care system
• An end to the wage gap
• Affordable birth control, comprehensive sex education, and protection for Roe v. Wade
• Access to high-quality child care
• Improved economic security for women and their families
• A solution to the dropout crisis
• A fair and independent judiciary

For more details on the poll, read NWLC’s press release, the fact sheet, or the complete Interested Parties memo on the poll results.

A Platform for Progress

The National Women’s Law Center also released A Platform for Progress ? an agenda to address the unmet needs of women and their families in the areas of education, employment, economic security, health, and legal rights.
