New York State Women, Inc. stands firmly in support of the Paycheck Fairness Act co-sponsored and supported by you and many others in Congress.  Enough is enough with the discrimination that women have withstood on the issue of Pay Equity.  There is no rational explanation for the length of time it has taken us to achieve this goal.  The mission of NYSWI is “to build powerful women personally, professionally and politically” through advocacy and education.  Our vision is “to make a difference in the lives of working women.”  Our Legislative Platform reflects the many areas of equitable demands and we are supportive of any issue that will positively impact the lives of women in New York and all of America.  There is no justification for women to be treated as second-class citizens.

Women’s history in the Empire State goes hand in hand with New York’s history as a progressive leader. From education to health care to civil equality, women have been a driving force behind almost every reform movement in our state. This past week, in honor of Women’s History Month, Governor Cuomo opened a new exhibit at the State Capitol honoring the remarkable women who have led New York and the nation. Explore our online exhibit featuring these women’s stories.
