Mission:
Our mission is bold― to advance gender equity for women and girls through research, education, and advocacy. We are not satisfied to simply document and discuss the inequities women and girls face. AAUW aims to achieve equity through practical solutions in education, workplaces, and communities.
Results:
AAUW is proud of its achievements in 2018, which include:
• Unveiling a free, online Work Smart course— available at salary. aauw. org— that can be taken in an hour by anyone, anywhere. The new tool is instrumental in our efforts to train 10 million women in salary negotiation by 2022 and help close the pay gap by 2030.
• Joining Mayor Sly James and the Women’s Foundation to launch Work Smart in Kansas City, the first phase of a large-scale initiative to train 1 million women to negotiate for better salaries across Kansas and Missouri.
• Working with city and state leaders to ban the use of salary history in hiring, a practice that puts women at a significant financial disadvantage due to prior discrimination. Governors signed executive orders prohibiting the practice in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and legislators enacted laws in Louisville, Kentucky; Kansas City, Missouri; and Salt Lake City, Utah.
• Releasing the 2018 the Simple Truth about the Gender Pay Gap, which found that women working full time are still paid, on average, only 80 cents for every dollar paid to a man— a figure that has changed by less than a nickel during the 21st century. Two other research reports updated this year documented that women remain vastly underrepresented in top nonprofit positions and are disproportionately affected by student debt.
