Women

AFSCME women are on the frontlines building a stronger union and fighting for their rights. At 56 percent of the union, women are critical to AFSCME’s power and growth. The Women’s Rights Department promotes the economic security of women and ensures that our women members are prepared to lead the union in the 21st Century.  Through gender-specific research, materials, advocacy, and skills-building programs, the Women’s Right Department is a vital resource for our women members.
