New York State Creates Women And Girls Council

New York has created its first ever Council on Women And Girls. According to Governor Cuomo’s office the Council will be made up of two parts: the leaders of New York State agencies, who will make sure that every policy enacted and each program created advances equality and a Steering Committee, comprised of those from academia, advocacy, business, media, and the non-profit space who will inform and direct the Council’s work.

Cuomo said he looks forward to working with the Council and Steering Committee members to make a real and measurable impact on the lives of New York’s women and girls.
