Gender Equity In 2013

We were recently made aware of a fascinating info graphic by LearnStuff.com on gender equity as seen through the lens of unequal pay.  This image is timely following President Obama’s recent inauguration speech.  At WIPA, we see gender equity as a particularly important issue in 2013.

It is now our generation’s task to carry on what those pioneers began, for our journey is not complete until our wives, our mothers and daughters can earn a living equal to their efforts.

-President Barack Obama, 2013 Inauguration Speech

Recent world events have further amplified the call for global equality in law, justice, access, salary, and education.  This year we strive to increase the number of interviews and guest articles that discuss the factors that lead to gender inequality.  We want to explore   how women leaders have overcome these challenges and what they are doing to address them.  We hope that you will contribute to this dialogue either in person or via one of our many online platforms.  Thank you to everyone for your ongoing support of WIPA as we strive to empower women in the public sector sphere.
