Occupy and Women's Rights
WOMEN ARE a majority of the 99 percent.
We are still paid, on average, only 77 cents to a man’s dollar (that number drops to 68 cents for African American women and 58 cents for Latinas). When one takes into account the impact of childbearing and the fact the women still bear the brunt of unpaid labor in the home, this figure slides further downwards. One study measuring the cumulative impact over 15 prime-earning years found that women actually make 38 cents for each dollar a man makes.
This should come as no surprise living in one of the only countries in the world—along with Swaziland and Papua New Guinea—which does not require employers to provide paid maternity leave.
