Nowadays there are organizations and services that bring women
together in support and recognition of their daily hardships. Women with
similar issues come together to discuss their ongoing problems and address
them, many of them hosting events and creating publications especially for
women.
Women of the Workforce (WOW) is an organization that
provides strategies that addresses women's everyday challenges in the
workforce. Women from all across New
York State meet to study and recognize organized labor, government, community
based organizations, female veterans, immigrants and refugees and the education
community. WOW plans the focus of regional events that helps to address these
issues.
Some of these issues are as follows:
·
Challenges Women with
Disabilities Face in the Workforce: Overcoming Barriers; Sharing Abilities
·
Women's Leadership:
Empowering and Supporting Women

·
Filling the Gap:
Programming for Female Veterans
Just two of the hundreds of women’s empowerment and workforce
groups are www.femanist.com
andwww.womenforwomen.org.
These organizations also discuss the greatest
need for realizing women's empowerment:
(1) technology use
(2) social norm change
(3) economic resilience
In 2012, it is not uncommon
to come across these kind of groups on a regular basis. You would not typically
see this kind of recognition for a men’s group because it is the women who
succumb to unequal treatment and discrimination.
