Statement from Senate Democratic Conference Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins Supporting Governor Cuomos Call for the Womens Equality Act
I was thrilled to see the Governors 10-Point Womens Equality Act. This package of bills will help break down the barriers and inequality women face every day. It is outrageous that in New York in 2013 women are paid less than men for the same work, face discrimination in the workplace based on family status and pregnancy and in housing because of their source of income or domestic violence status and still dont have complete control of their own health decisions. As I said yesterday, New York has always led the way on progressive issues and this must be the case again. The Senate Democratic Conference will work tirelessly with the Governor to have this entire package passed as soon as possible.
