Women NYC

Announcing the Childcare Employer Toolkit

For too long, lack of accessible childcare has been a systemic barrier to workforce participation and economic mobility for women, especially women of color, and low-income families. We have a once in a generation opportunity to not only solve the childcare crisis, but to reimagine a future of care designed to meet the diverse needs of families.

As part of Mayor Adams’ Blueprint for Childcare & Early Childhood in New York City, we have produced,” Toward a Working Future: A Childcare Toolkit for New York City Employers,” to provide resources to employers who want to be partners in expanding access to quality childcare.

INITIATIVE SPOTLIGHT

Speak out against gender-based harassment

NYC Human Rights Law protects New Yorkers from workplace discrimination based on gender, race, age, citizenship, or other reasons. As of January 2019, a new initiative further enforces some of these protections: the Gender-Based Anti-Harassment Unit, housed under the NYC Commission on Human Rights, will investigate claims of sexual- and gender-based harassment in the workplace, fast track high-priority cases, and curb instances of retaliation.
