As Congress Convenes, Over 100 Women’s Groups Urge Lawmakers to Focus on Gender Equity

As our nation continues to grapple with and get better from the COVID-19 pandemic and the financial instability it prompted, girls, individuals of all marginalized genders, and their households proceed to bear the burden of that restoration. Making issues worse, we proceed to see historic assaults – bodily and legislative – towards girls, the LGBTQIA+ neighborhood, immigrants, individuals with disabilities, and other people of shade. Whereas one of the egregious of those assaults was the stripping of the constitutional proper to abortion – a Supreme Courtroom resolution that has already impacted tens of millions and can proceed to have far-reaching implications for our nation – the assaults and dangers we’re dealing with prolong far past the Dobbs resolution.

The result of the 2022 midterms was history-defying for a motive: It was pushed by a broad demand to guard the rights of ladies and childbearing individuals. Given the a number of and intersecting types of discrimination that ladies and all individuals of marginalized genders face, particularly Black girls and different girls and gender-expansive individuals of shade, the 118^th Congress has a accountability and an obligation to make gender fairness and justice a prime precedence in its upcoming session.

The undersigned gender fairness organizations urge Members of Congress of each events to prioritize the next coverage points:

I.  Defend Well being, Reproductive Freedom, and Bodily Autonomy

With ongoing and relentless assaults towards entry to well being care, Congress should act to guard the proper to entry important well being care companies, together with abortion, contraception, and

gender-affirming care. Congress should additionally act to deal with well being disparities and guarantee entry to look after survivors of sexual violence.

Defend Abortion Care. The Dobbs resolution, a legally unjustifiable opinion issued by a Courtroom that ignored almost 50 years of precedent, additional devastated entry to abortion care. It instantly wrenched the constitutionally protected proper to abortion and threatened the proper to full bodily autonomy from tens of millions of individuals, jeopardizing their well being, security, and monetary safety within the course of. Entry to abortion is particularly important to individuals with disabilities as a result of for some, their pre-existing situations imply carrying a being pregnant to time period might put their very own life in peril.

With a number of states implementing or proposing full abortion bans – in some instances with legal penalties for people who present or facilitate abortion entry – these states that do enable abortion well being care companies are seeing their networks additional strained by new and determined sufferers looking for care from neighboring states. Many worry criminalization for his or her abortion or being pregnant loss as a consequence of an absence of well being knowledge privateness on their telephones and units. Moreover, transportation challenges for sufferers needing to achieve out-of-state or distant suppliers, inconsistencies round out there tools and companies (resembling these essential to deal with individuals with disabilities), and worry round potential legal penalties is placing people, households, and communities in danger.

Defend Gender-Affirming Care. In an identical vein, well being care suppliers looking for to supply the usual of care to their transgender sufferers are being focused each by means of laws and

by means of threats of violence. Regardless of the clear consensus amongst medical professionals that gender-affirming care is just not solely protected however obligatory for transgender individuals, political opponents are pushing legislative bans and others are harassing and threatening particular person and institutional suppliers of this care. Congress ought to resist any efforts to duplicate the dangerous insurance policies being pushed in plenty of states, and affirm that everybody deserves entry to the well being care they want, free from violence and discrimination.

Fight Maternal Well being Disparities. Moreover, Congress should do extra to deal with maternal well being disparities which have continued for too lengthy and that disproportionately affect the BIPOC communities as a consequence of systemic inequality and racism. These disparities have solely been exacerbated by the assaults on abortion entry and towards transgender sufferers. We’d like our lawmakers to take motion by making important investments that would cut back well being inequities, resembling funding for housing, transportation, and vitamin. Our communities additionally want a larger funding in focused funding for community-based fashions of care that may assist enhance entry to well being care companies and shut current well being disparities.

Strengthen Entry to Take care of Survivors. In the USA, sexual violence is a public well being disaster. 1 in 10 youngsters have already, are presently, or will expertise sexual violence earlier than they flip 18. Whereas no race, ethnicity, tribe, gender, class, sexual orientation, non secular and religious neighborhood, or caste id is exempt from sexual violence, girls – particularly these residing on the intersections of different marginalized identities – are weak to bodily and sexual assaults at the next charge, with far much less entry to therapeutic sources and assist. The affect of sexual violence exists past the second, or moments, an abuser assaults a survivor. The expertise of any type of violence shifts the physiological physique, together with the systemic trauma of sexual hurt. Survivors expertise the next danger of psychological well being diagnoses, diabetes, excessive ldl cholesterol, hypertension, coronary heart assaults, suicide makes an attempt, consuming issues, and different stress-related diseases.

The battle for reproductive justice and survivor justice are intricately linked, as stolen consent and the violation of bodily autonomy are central to each. Being pressured to hold a being pregnant to time period after an assault could be more and more dangerous each bodily and psychologically, in addition to financially, and additional diminish survivor company. Exemptions within the instances of rape and incest will not be acceptable pathways to strengthening entry to look after survivors, as these insurance policies render survivors weak to the repeated trauma of being pressured to reveal and bear the burden of proving their assault to be able to acquire entry to protected, high quality abortion care. Insurance policies relating to sufferer verification mechanisms can result in elongated ready durations, growing the probability of gestational limitations.

We urge the 118th Congress to prioritize passing payments that would really create, shield, and broaden entry to abortion that our coalitions are advocating for. Furthermore, we urge the 118th to affirm that everybody has a proper to entry the well being care they want, together with transgender sufferers and survivors of abuse and assault. Exemptions for instances of rape and incest talk that birthing individuals solely have a proper to bodily autonomy after they’ve been violated and as such these exemptions shouldn’t be seen as acceptable pathways to strengthening entry to look after survivors. We additional urge Congress to put money into closing maternal and different well being disparities.

II.  Guarantee Financial Safety for Ladies and Households

Though the pandemic and restoration payments that have been handed within the 117th Congress provided desperately wanted short-term help to households dealing with financial insecurity, a lot of these

helps have now ended. Pandemic applications demonstrated the significance of public investments in strengthening households’ financial safety, boosting labor drive participation, and supporting households’ well being and well-being. Congress should shield and strengthen:

The Youngster Tax Credit score. The expanded Youngster Tax Credit score handed below the American Rescue Plan (ARP) brought down the child poverty rate from 9.7% in 2020 to five.2% in 2021. By permitting this life-saving assist system to lapse in 2021, the 117th Congress failed to make sure that these youngsters and these good points could be protected.

Common Youngster Care. The COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated categorically how important entry to common and inexpensive little one care is for American households and communities. Youngster care stabilization funding will quickly run out, inflicting a harmful cliff for little one care suppliers and households. As our nation continues to get better from the pandemic, the necessity to assist households with little one care stays important.

Paid Household and Medical Depart. Early pandemic insurance policies created the first-ever paid sick and household depart protections for some U.S. staff, supporting particular person and neighborhood well being and saving lives and jobs. Creating a sturdy federal paid household and medical depart program that covers all working individuals – regardless of the place they stay or work, or the character of their job – with significant wage alternative is an integral part for households, companies and economies’ power and safety going ahead.

Paid Sick Time and Paid Secure Depart. Making certain all staff have entry to paid sick days can be important. As well as, the monetary pressures related to home violence, sexual assault and stalking can have an effect on survivors’ means to depart any abusive relationship and search security. Paid protected depart would enable survivors to entry important companies with out risking their jobs and monetary safety.

Help for Unions and Employee Organizing. Unions and employee organizing are important for reaching and sustaining gender justice, particularly for individuals of shade. The PRO Act would considerably strengthen the power of private-sector workers to kind unions and collectively discount for higher pay and higher working situations. The additional focus of wealth and energy by firms through the pandemic and the disparate financial affect that the pandemic has had on girls and other people of shade (notably in women-concentrated sectors little one care, schooling, and residential care) underscore the necessity for legislative assist for stronger unions, which is why we urge Congress to enact this lengthy overdue piece of laws.

Good and Secure Jobs. By the Infrastructure Funding and Jobs Act and the Inflation Discount Act, we’ll see tens of millions of latest jobs created over the following a number of years. For these jobs to be stuffed in an equitable method, extra effort have to be put into making these worksites freed from harassment and abuse, conscious of trauma skilled by staff, and inclusive of kid care and different supportive companies. These investments also needs to maximize the creation of union jobs. Congress is slated to deal with the Workforce Funding and Alternative Act reauthorization and will use this as a chance to modernize the workforce growth programs to higher shield and meet the wants of ladies and staff with households.

Honest Pay. Ladies usually tend to work in jobs that pay low wages than are males, and ladies – particularly Latina, Black and Native girls, and ladies of sure Asian American and Pacific Islander ethnicities – are paid lower than males on common for doing related work. Congress should elevate the minimal wage, remove the tipped minimal wage, remove sub-minimum wages for individuals with disabilities, implement wage transparency, and make it harder and expensive for

employers to justify gender- and race-based pay differentials in an effort to finish discriminatory pay practices. Congress should guarantee all girls have the instruments they should problem discrimination and all employers have the incentives they should adjust to the legislation. Passage of the Paycheck Equity Act would take significant steps to replace and strengthen the Equal Pay Act of 1963 to assist shut the gender pay hole.

Entry to House & Group Primarily based Companies. Individuals with disabilities and seniors want to stay and work of their houses and communities, moderately than nursing houses or different institutional settings. To make that doable, they depend on the help of direct care staff, together with house care staff and different direct assist professionals (DSPs) – a workforce consisting primarily of ladies, particularly girls of shade. Nonetheless, the excessive turnover charge of this workforce as a consequence of low wages, lack of sick and trip days, and infrequently, no medical insurance, is making it more and more troublesome for seniors and other people with disabilities to keep up this stage of autonomy.

Given the growing variety of individuals with disabilities and the rising senior inhabitants, the multitude of duties that these staff tackle, and the affect they’ve, Congress should put money into larger pay for house care staff and DSPs, and should additionally create buildings to make sure that all house care staff, together with unbiased suppliers, are in a position to be a part of a union and advocate for themselves and the individuals they serve. A residing wage and advantages would be sure that individuals with disabilities can discover and retain certified suppliers and could be a primary step in direction of financial fairness for this workforce. Congress should additionally make it simpler for disabled individuals and older adults to entry house and neighborhood based mostly companies by making HCBS necessary companies in Medicaid, present funding to extend the capability of HCBS infrastructure, and finish decade-long state ready lists. Lastly, Congress should completely fund applications like Cash Follows the Particular person, protections towards spousal impoverishment, and respite companies for households of individuals with disabilities and older adults.

We urge the 118th Congress to prioritize offering sustained financial assist for all American households, together with by renewing the ARP’s Youngster Tax Credit score provisions, advancing office justice, and by persevering with to work towards common little one care, paid depart, the next minimal wage, and truthful pay insurance policies.

III.  Advance Insurance policies to Scale back Gender-Primarily based Violence

Ladies, particularly girls of shade, immigrants, individuals with disabilities, and LGBTQIA+ individuals expertise disproportionately excessive charges of bodily and sexual violence and harassment. New analysis paperwork the diploma to which being pregnant is a significant danger issue for home violence homicides, notably for Black girls and younger girls and women, an issue that may undoubtedly be exacerbated by elevated charges of pressured being pregnant related to widespread abortion restrictions.

We’d like Congress to strengthen protections towards harassment at work and at college and unite behind a bipartisan effort to stop and intervene in sexual violence, home violence, relationship violence, and stalking with the inclusion of neighborhood leaders and survivors doing the work daily. Ending gender-based violence would require a verbal, ethical, understanding and monetary funding in approaches to intervention and prevention, resembling growing funding for high-quality and factual consent schooling and sources for community-led direct companies. Since survivors are multi-dimensional, stopping and intervening in gender-based violence can even require an overhaul of the oppressive programs that survivors face and are failed by daily, together with the underfunded well being care system, the jail and police system, the schooling system, and financial limitations.

Reauthorize and Absolutely Fund the Household Violence Prevention and Companies Act (FVPSA). FVPSA is the nation’s solely federal funding stream devoted to the assist of emergency shelter and associated help for victims of home violence and their youngsters. FVPSA supplies base funding to assist greater than 1,500 native public, personal, nonprofit, and

faith-based organizations and applications and over 240 Tribes and Tribal organizations of their response to over 1.3 million home violence victims and their youngsters every year and have to be reauthorized with important enhancements.

Increase Sexual Assault Funding. The monetary value of sexual violence is $122,461 over a survivor’s lifetime. The price of housing, meals, security and safety, little one care, and authorized charges are just a few examples of the burdens related to trying to get better from the trauma of sexual violence. Congress should improve funding for the Workplace on Violence In opposition to Ladies Sexual Assault Companies Program and the CDC Rape Prevention and Training Program at HHS, and put money into new community-led approaches to satisfy the wants of grownup survivors of childhood sexual abuse.

Deal with Structural Boundaries to Security for Native Ladies and Women. Violence towards American Indian and Alaska Native girls happens at disaster ranges on tribal lands and in Alaska Native villages. There have to be ample sources for tribal justice programs and ongoing assist and coordination with federal companies and tribal governments.

Help LGBTQ+ Survivors. LGBTQ+ people face elevated dangers of violence and greater than half of transgender and non-binary people expertise intimate associate violence of their lifetime. There have to be insurance policies that broaden sources and companies for these survivors.

Improve Pathways to Therapeutic and Security for Ladies and Women. Ladies and women of shade are much more weak to incidents of violence and sexual assault, and the complexity of their experiences will not be sufficiently addressed in present companies and trainings. There needs to be elevated sources and analysis to deal with these disparities.

Advance Insurance policies and Practices That Safe Sustainable, Secure, Inexpensive, and Accessible Housing for Survivors. As a social determinant of well being, creating protected and inexpensive avenues to housing could be a cost-effective answer and key consider home and sexual violence intervention, prevention, enhanced security, and total well-being for survivors, their households, and our communities.

Scale back Homicides. An abuser’s entry to a firearm will increase the chance of intimate associate murder five-fold. The 118^th Congress ought to totally shut the relationship associate loophole by prohibiting respondents to relationship violence protecting orders from possessing firearms or ammunition, and shut the stalking loophole by prohibiting people convicted of a misdemeanor crime of stalking from possessing firearms.

Finish the Criminalization of Ladies and Moms. Ladies are additionally experiencing violence by means of police brutality and mass incarceration. With greater than 1 million girls behind bars or below the management of the legal justice system, girls are the fastest-growing jail inhabitants within the nation. Eighty p.c of women in jail are mothers, and most are the first caretakers of their youngsters. America has the highest incarceration rate for girls on the planet, with the vast majority of girls in jail being survivors of gender-based and/or intimate associate violence. Prisons and jails put them at larger danger for experiencing further violence and sexual assault. We should lower our overreliance on prisons and policing, and cut back the hurt prompted to households.

Maintain the Crime Victims Fund. The Crime Victims Fund is a important funding supply that helps tens of millions of home violence and sexual assault survivors, and their youngsters, entry security and therapeutic after a disaster and wishes sustained funding to assist important companies.

We urge the 118th Congress to deal with the growing charges of home violence and intimate associate homicides by reauthorizing the Household Violence Prevention and Companies Act, stabilizing the Crime Victims Fund, and investing in home violence companies and prevention. There should even be elevated funding for the Workplace on Violence In opposition to Ladies Sexual Assault Companies Program and the CDC Rape Prevention and Training Program at HHS, and funding in new community-led approaches to satisfy the wants of grownup survivors of childhood sexual abuse.

Additional, we urge Congress to lower our nation’s total overreliance on prisons and police and push for non-carceral options to violence that don’t additional criminalize and incarcerate victims and survivors.

IV. Advance Democracy, Voting Rights, and Gender Equality

Our vote is our voice and our democracy is at its strongest when each voice is heard. A democracy depends on the significant alternative to be heard — by means of our vote, our justice system and with the popularity of equality for all. This implies everybody eligible to vote will need to have entry to take action in a method that’s straightforward and clear and have their vote depend. It additionally means our federal courts have to be populated with truthful, unbiased, and certified judges dedicated to equal entry to justice who signify the communities they serve. Moreover, the Structure must be amended to explicitly shield towards intercourse discrimination.

With the Supreme Courtroom’s Shelby County v. Holder resolution gutting the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and subsequent efforts to limit entry to the poll field in states throughout the nation, our means to elect leaders who mirror our values and are dedicated to fairness and justice is severely impacted. In accordance with the Brennan Middle, since January 2021 states enacted 45 legal guidelines that may make it harder to vote and that may have the impact of suppressing the vote in weak communities. Furthermore, tons of of restrictive voting payments have been launched throughout almost each state within the Union.

Promote and Defend the Freedom to Vote. Deliberate limitations to voting — steeped in white supremacy — have made it more and more troublesome for individuals to register to vote and forged a poll. Deliberately steep obstacles to the poll field most harm Black voters and different communities of shade, younger individuals, and other people with disabilities. The Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Act will be sure that voters, no matter the place they stay, can safely and freely forged their ballots. This laws would battle again towards these assaults and make sure the means of each American to take part in protected, accessible, and clear elections.

Guarantee Each Voice Can Be Heard on the Poll Field. Relatively than silencing the voices of Black voters, younger individuals, and older adults, we should enhance entry to voter registration to make our democracy extra responsive and consultant. Options to modernize voter registration embrace registering individuals to vote mechanically once they work together with a authorities company, just like the Division of Motor Automobiles, and enabling individuals to register any time, together with on Election Day and on-line. Lawmakers ought to advance protections towards improper purges of voter registration rolls, and finish the observe of stripping the proper to vote from individuals who have prior legal convictions or who’re, or have been, incarcerated. For these already impacted by these dangerous practices, elected officers should be sure that People have their voting rights restored as quickly as doable. The fitting to vote could be additional protected by making Election Day a federal vacation, lowering limitations to vote early and by mail, making

polling stations accessible, and increasing language entry applications to serve People for whom English is just not their major language.

Publish the Equal Rights Modification (ERA). The nation has but to enshrine gender equality within the U.S. Structure, leaving girls, women, LGBTQIA+, and gender-expansive individuals notably weak to additional rollbacks of rights. For ladies of shade, this further layer of safety is especially important, as their expertise with intercourse discrimination is magnified by the intersection of discrimination on the premise of race and ethnicity. It’s time to fulfill the promise to kind a extra excellent union and to strengthen our democracy by publishing the ERA because the twenty eighth Modification to the Structure, guaranteeing all individuals safety towards discrimination on the premise of intercourse.

Increase Nondiscrimination Legal guidelines. Along with enshrining gender equality within the Structure, additionally it is essential to enact further federal legislative protections by increasing our nondiscrimination legal guidelines to make clear that they cowl sexual orientation and gender id.

Verify a Consultant Judiciary with Judges Dedicated to Equal Justice for All. As integral gamers in our democracy, judges needs to be neutral arbiters of the legislation. The Senate should verify nominees who will uphold the rights of all People and embrace judicial independence. And, the federal judiciary ought to mirror the communities they serve. Variety in our courts evokes confidence within the judicial system and may higher guarantee balanced choices.

We urge the 118th Congress to advance democracy by selling and defending the proper to vote, guaranteeing truthful courts, increasing nondiscrimination legal guidelines, and prioritizing gender equality by passing laws that expresses the sense that the Equal Rights Modification (ERA) is legitimate having happy all necessities for ratification.

V. Advance Justice for Immigrants and Their Households

Undocumented immigrant girls, households, and whole communities have been ready for many years for immigration aid from Congress, together with a pathway to citizenship, entry to well being care and different financial helps, and a chance to stay their full lives and obtain their full potential on this nation. Not solely have these efforts repeatedly died in Congress, however below the earlier administration, undocumented immigrants have been subjected to a number of the most horrific insurance policies our nation has ever carried out. A few of these insurance policies, together with Title 42, stay in place even now. That is unacceptable.

Whereas undocumented immigrants are members of our communities, pay billions in taxes, and ship their youngsters to our faculties, they’re omitted of a lot of our key social welfare applications. They have been additionally largely barred from accessing applications and companies Congress handed to assist American households by means of the COVID-19 pandemic, making it much more troublesome for immigrant households to climate the pandemic and financial crises it created.

Cross the LIFT the BAR Act. Thousands and thousands of people are denied entry to well being care and primary financial assist due to their immigration standing. The LIFT the BAR act would replace eligibility requirements of federal help applications.

Increase Entry to Well being Care Companies for Immigrants by Passing the HEAL for Immigrant Households Act. This laws ensures important entry to Medicaid and the Kids’s Well being Insurance coverage Program by lifting the present five-year interval that lawfully-present immigrants, together with youngsters, are required to attend earlier than having the ability to enroll in these well being care applications.

Strengthen Implementation of VAWA/TVPA Visa Protections. Congress ought to move the Working for Immigrant Security and Empowerment (WISE) Act, which reduces limitations to longstanding immigration protections out there for survivors by lifting caps on visas for crime and abuse victims, increasing protections for abused spouses and kids on momentary visas, stopping deportation whereas victim-related immigration instances are pending, offering well timed entry to work authorization and financial and well being helps, and strengthening privateness protections for survivors. There also needs to be elevated funding to USCIS to make sure well timed employment authorizations to VAWA self-petitioners, U and T visa candidates, and to make sure the prevention of deportation and detention of such candidates.

POWER Act. Lastly, Congress ought to strengthen and move the Defend Our Employees from Exploitation and Retaliation (POWER) Act, which might shield staff who battle again towards sexual assault, sexual harassment, discrimination, and different office violations from immigration-related retaliation.

We urge the 118th Congress to move laws that might enable undocumented immigrants to regularize their standing and totally combine into American society, together with by guaranteeing language entry, permitting them to entry key financial helps and advantages, and strengthening protections for immigrant survivors. This shouldn’t be coupled with further funding for immigration enforcement that additional harms immigrant communities.

VI.  Prioritize Gender Justice within the 118th Congress

We, the undersigned, acknowledge the challenges of realizing these priorities, given the political dynamics in Congress. Nonetheless, the pressing want – and our demand – for gender fairness doesn’t rely on the distribution of energy in Congress. Whereas a lot of our priorities could not develop into legislation below divided authorities, the 118^th Congress should make progress in advancing them to put the groundwork for a future during which individuals of all marginalized genders and their households have the complete alternative to thrive in our nation.
