Women's groups draft far reaching IWY agenda in push for unity
More than 70 groups including YWCA, Junior League, NOW and the Girl Scouts contributed proposals for an International Women's Year agenda. The coalition led by the Women's Action Alliance seeks equal access to education, economic power, political participation, child care, homemakers' rights, and anti discrimination based on sexual orientation. The plan aims for local chapter action and mayoral support by November, with endorsements anticipated from the Ruckelshaus commission.
