COMMISSION ON GIRLS AND WOMEN

I am delighted that Hamilton County has selected me to join their commission on girls and women. I am joined by a cross section of great role models from our county working towards greater empowerment and equality in our local community. We have already started the work and are organizing ourselves into teams focusing on different areas. I will share updates as we move forward.

I include below the Commission’s purpose and also a link that shares its members.

Purpose:

The Commission shall make recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners and local government jurisdictions to eliminate any distinction, exclusion, or restriction made on the basis of sex, which has the effect or purpose of impairing or nullifying the recognition, enjoyment or exercise by women, irrespective of marital status, on the basis of equality between men and women, of human rights or fundamental freedom in the political, economic, social, cultural, civil, or any other field.

The Commission shall facilitate partnerships between government, nonprofit, and business, which will support the mission of the Commission on Women and Girls.

The Commission shall promote and encourage women to seek leadership positions in society, and help girls to develop leadership skills.

The Commission shall develop public information and/or education campaigns to support the mission of the Commission on Women and Girls.
