Today marks #BlackWomensEqualPayDay, highlighting the ongoing struggle for equal pay for equal work. Black women shouldn't have to wait another two centuries for pay equity, yet the latest data from IWPR indicate that it will take over 200 years—until 2227—for Black women’s pay to equal that of White men for full-time, year-round workers. For pay equity across all earnings, it will take until 2362. Read our full statement: https://lnkd.in/e8htqJgb

On the second anniversary of the Dobbs decision and the overturn of Roe v. Wade, we reflect on the harmful impact it has had on women and families. Since this ruling, many states have passed bans and enacted extreme restrictions that harm the health all women, particularly Black, Latina, low-income, young, rural, and LGBTQIA individuals who already face systemic obstacles. IWPR data show these bans not only reduce women's participation in the workforce but also lead to significant wage losses, harming their economic stability and the financial security of their families.
