ABCs of Women's Issues
A resource from the National Council of Women's Organizations

The Wisconsin Women's Network (WWN) is encouraging women voters to learn the ABCs of women's issues in preparation for the 2004 elections.

In order to ask political candidates and political parties where they stand on key issues important to women, the WWN recommends getting a copy of "the ABCs of Women's Issues," a new publication from the National Council of Women's Organizations (NCWO). NCWO is a coalition of 200 women's organizations representing 10 million women nationwide.

"Critical elections in recent years have been decided by very few votes. Women voters can and will make a difference," said Sharyn Wisniewski, WWN vice chair of communications.

The guide seeks to educate women about a wide range of issues and urges them to engage in the political process on matters of vital concern to them and their families. The ABCs of Women's Issues covers: affirmative action, business and women, child care, Equal Rights Amendment, family leave, global women's issues, health care, job training, military women, pay equity, reproductive rights, social security, Title IX, violence against women and welfare reform.

Copies of The ABCs of Women's Issues" may be downloaded as a PDF file from the NCWO Website, www.womensorganizations.org. Hard copies may be requested at ncworg@aol.com.
