; Whereas, in the United States, more than 80 percent of Black mothers are key breadwinners for their families, but mothers working full-time are typically paid only 54 percent as much as White fathers; Whereas the lack of access to affordable, quality child care, paid family and medical leave, paid sick leave, and other family friendly workplace policies forces many Black women to choose between their paycheck or job and getting quality care for themselves or their family members, and contributes to the wage gap; Whereas, if the wage gap were eliminated, on average, a Black woman working full-time, year-round would have enough money for approximately 2 and a half years of child care; more than 2.6 additional years of tuition and fees for a 4-year public university, or the full cost of tuition and fees for a 2-year community college; nearly 17 additional months of premiums for employer-based health insurance; 165 more weeks of food for her family (more than 3 years worth); more than 15 additional months of mortgage and utilities payments; 23 more months of rent; nearly 20 additional years of birth control; or enough money to pay off student loan debt in just over 1 year; Whereas 25 to 85 percent of women have been sexually harassed at the workplace, and research has found that only a small number of those who experience harassment, or about 1 in 10, formally report incidents for reasons including lack of access to the complaints processes and fear of retaliation; Whereas workplace harassment forces many women to leave their occupation or industry with targets of harassment being 6.5 times more likely as non-targets to change jobs or pass up opportunities for advancement, and this contributes to the gender wage gap
