Women’s Equality Act: Buchwald Announces Passage

January 27, 2014 by Inside Press

In an effort to provide equality and justice for all New York State citizens, Assemblyman David Buchwald (D-Westchester) today proudly announced Assembly passage of the full 10-point Women’s Equality Act (WEA). The legislation (A.8070) addresses pay inequity, sexual harassment, pregnancy discrimination in the workplace, human trafficking, domestic violence and family status discrimination, and strengthens women’s health and reproductive rights.

“It’s disheartening that women are still faced with economic barriers and inequalities in everyday life,” said Assemblyman Buchwald. “We must send a forceful message that we will not tolerate discrimination. I strongly urge the State Senate to do the right thing this year by passing all 10 points of the Women’s Equality Act.”

Assemblyman Buchwald also noted that in today’s economy, women need more economic security – not less. In New York, women make just 84 cents for every dollar earned by men, creating a substantial yearly pay gap of roughly $8,275 between men and women working full time for the same level of work.[1]

“Equal pay and equal opportunity for women are not just issues about fairness,” said Assemblyman Buchwald. “These are also issues that impact our economic growth and the financial security of middle-class families. I have said this before, and I will continue to speak loudly for women’s equality – it’s time we act.”
