Women are
being tested
More intersectional than ever before, women are rising to new heights, while still being held to old expectations. Despite incredible advancement in our careers, women are paid less in the workplace. Women of Color especially are more likely to be uninsured, experience health disparities, and face workplace discrimination. On average, Latinas earn 55 cents, Black women earn 63 cents, and Native American women earn 60 cents for every dollar earned by White men (Source: The Status of Women in the States, Institute for Women's Policy Research). 44% of women have experienced at least one of three forms of sexual harassment: unwelcome sexual advances, sexually explicit or suggestive comments, or sexual harassment via text or email (Source, Pew Research Center, 2019). Transgender women, particularly transgender women of color, experience higher rates of violence, including hate crimes, sexual assault, and homicide (Source: The National Coalition of Anti-Violence Program, 2021). Mothers are also disproportionately affected by workplace discrimination and lack of paid family and medical leave. The United States is the only developed country without a federal paid family leave policy. As of 2021, only 21% of U.S. workers have access to paid family leave through their employer, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistic (Source: The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2023). Overall, nearly half of all women in the U.S. have experienced some form of trauma, which can contribute to mental health issues (source: Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration - SAMHSA). Studies have found that 70% of young women reported that they have experienced feelings of anxiety or depression due to social media (source: Royal Society for Public Health, 2019). As a result, approximately 20 million women in the United States will have an eating disorder at some point in their lives. 90% of individuals with eating disorders are female. (National Eating Disorders Association, "Gender & Eating Disorders," 2021). Overall, studies show that Women of Color experience higher rates of depression, anxiety, and PTSD compared to white women, and are less likely to receive mental health treatment due to stigma, lack of access to care, and cultural mistrust of mental health professionals. These challenges highlight the urgent need for communal healing and accessible support for all women.
