Women-helping-Women USA in Partnership with Women's Rights Information Center is conducing weekly support and networking meetings to help women job seekers and those interested in career advancement.
Though peer led weekly meetings providing education, support, mentoring and community engaged networking the members are assisted with a wide range of issues both professional and personal that are confronting women in their jobs and careers. Women are encouraged to engage in networking, and to help with mentoring other women, using a pay it forward culture. The WOMEN'S RIGHTS INFORMATION CENTER is a place for women in transition to gain career, life and resource-building skills that can change the direction of their economic futures for the better. Our goal is to promote a high quality of life for women as independent earners and self-sufficient members of the community. The Center was organized in 1973 in response to the needs of women caught up in a changing society to put themselves and their lives in order, to provide for their families, to regain self-esteem, to become informed about their legal rights and the resources available to them, to become economically self-sufficient in order to support themselves and their families. The Center believes in helping women to help themselves by providing a clearing house of reliable facts for informed decision making, drop-in or phone-in peer counseling, and a variety of educational, training, practical and life-enhancing programs in a supportive environment. Lisa Hassan Maurer from Women's Rights Information Center has led our weekly meeting partnership in Englewood NJ from July 23,2017 to March 2020. we had to suspend our meetings due to COVID and we are hoping to soon reestablish them.
If you are interested in being a volunteer leader or mentor or presenter let us know. johnrfugazzie@aol.com Opened July 23

Dear Friend,
Child care workers. Maids. Fast-food employees. Restaurant servers. Home health care aides. They're jobs that are more likely to be done by women. And that's not good news. Because if you're in one of these jobs, which typically pay $10.10 an hour or less, you may well be living below the poverty line. You may be struggling to afford health care and child care. And you may face discrimination and sexual harassment. We just released a new report showing that regardless of their education level, age, marital or parental status, race, ethnicity, or national origin, women are more likely to work in a low-wage job than their male counterparts. For women to get ahead, we need to improve working conditions and policy supports for workers in these jobs. Sign on to support a new economic agenda that works for women in low-wage jobs. Working in a low-wage job makes supporting a family incredibly difficult. In addition to the constant struggle to make ends meet, workers in these jobs face a drumbeat of challenges and headaches — like lack of access to affordable child care and paid sick days, discrimination and harassment, unpredictable work schedules, and barriers to reproductive health care. Not to mention a wage gap. Yes, even in these low-wage jobs, women working full time, year round are paid 13 percent less than men. Something's got to give. Pledge to support an economic agenda that works for women in low-wage jobs. In our report, Underpaid and Overloaded: Women in Low-Wage Jobs, we outline an agenda that addresses the needs of low-wage workers. On the agenda:
If we can make these policies a reality, they won't only improve the lives of workers in low-wage jobs and their families. They'll make our economy stronger for everyone. Thank you for everything you do for women and their families. Sincerely,National Women's Law Center P.S. Visit www.nwlc.org/LowWage to download the full report.
