National Partnership for Women & Families
United StatesWomen
Taking action since 1971, we have been changing the world in ways that make life better for women and families. We believe that actions speak louder than words, and for nearly four decades we have fought for every major policy advance that has helped women and families. Today, we promote fairness in the workplace, reproductive health and rights, access to quality affordable health care, and policies that help women and men meet the dual demands of work and family. From outlawing sexual harassment to prohibiting pregnancy discrimination to giving workers the right to family and medical leave, we have fought for every major policy advance that has helped women and families. With your help, we will continue fighting for a nation where pay is fair, workplaces family-friendly, health care safe and affordable, opportunity equal, and discrimination a thing of the past.
