The Commission recognizes the need for women to have
an equal share, and to be equal participants, in the areas of economics,
health-care, civil rights, education and business development. The
Commission also believes that pro-active policies must be taken to
protect women and children from human trafficking and domestic abuse.
The Mass Commission on The Status of Women’s Legislative and Public
Policy Committee endorses and tracks legislation to achieve these
goals.
The Legislative Committee has made promoting bills to
advance pay equity in the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts its
top priority for the 2009-2010 legislative sessions.
If you would like to help support a bill, please contact
