💸 The gender wage gap refers to the difference

💸 The gender wage gap refers to the difference in earnings between women and men. Experts have calculated this gap in a multitude of ways, but the varying calculations point to a consensus: Women consistently earn less than men, and the gap is wider for most women of color.

The wage gap follows women their entire lives... 🤭

Juneteenth National Freedom day celebrates the end

Juneteenth National Freedom day celebrates the end of slavery in states that were rebelling against the North. It commemorates the day in 1865 that enslaved people in Galveston, Texas finally got news of the emancipation proclamation two years after it was signed. There is still much more progress that needs to be made. No freedom until equal!

Juneteenth is TOMORROW, swipe left to learn more!

Juneteenth is TOMORROW, swipe left to learn more! - an important day in our nation's history. On June 15, 2021, the Senate unanimously passed the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act, establishing Juneteenth as a federal holiday; it subsequently passed through the House of Representatives by a 415–14 vote on June 16. WomenNC wants to honor those who have fought for their rights of freedom and unity - and also those who continue the fight for equality! ✊ ❤️ 🖤 💚 💛

This month's North Carolina Notable Woman is Trace

This month's North Carolina Notable Woman is Tracey Miller! Tracey is the Outreach and Engagement Director for Orange County Rape Crisis Center in Chapel Hill. Prior to her current role she was a rape prevention education coordinator and self-defense instructor. Tracey has been working in the field of sexual violence prevention education and engagement for 18 years.
Tracey stands for women and children feeling safe, protected, and heard, which is why she became a committee member of the Justice in Action and the Community Policing Advisory for the town of Chapel Hill.
Right now, OCRCC is focusing on centering the voices of people who have been marginalized, promoting racial and health equality and looking at the intersectionality between oppression and sexual violence.
In 2019, after the initial airing of "Surviving R. Kelly: Docuseries", Tracey wanted to create a safe space for Black women who were working in the fields of sexual/domestic violence. She saw that women of color needed to be heard and supported so she started AOCOS (advocates of color offering support). This space allows Black women the opportunity to come together to discuss, plan, and support each other all while being their unique selves! WomenNC wants to thank Tracey for her dedication to women's equality and justice! - What a notable woman! 👏 👏 #NCwomen #NotableWomen
