For 50 years, Women Employed (WE) has been opening doors, breaking barriers, and expanding opportunities for women. Our mission is to increase the economic status of women and remove barriers to economic equity through effecting policy change, expanding access to educational opportunities, and advocating for fair and inclusive workplaces.
We are currently focused on growing the economic power of women in Illinois that are in low or unpaid work, and Black and/or Latina/x women. We do this by driving conversations, practices and policies to realize the value of women’s work; shifting the distribution of resources; and forging pathways to economic security, leadership, and wealth.
