HLS 2020 - Goal #5: Gender Equality
Gender Equality for Every Latina
Latinas create small businesses 6 times faster than any other group in the country. They are smart, hard-workers and hold the social tissue of our community together. However, gender equality for Latinas is an unrecognized crisis. Latinas are the least represented group in Corporate Boards, have a 46% salary gap and are not given credit for their remarkable contributions. Our aim is to identify and prioritize the top focus areas to successfully achieve Latina advancement.
