As we reflect on our last fiscal year, we are encouraged by the incredible strides we have made in building the economic power of women, their families, and communities. In just the past year, we secured expanded paid leave in the City of Chicago, expanded our ASPIRE Project, hosted a Women’s Economic Power Agenda (WEPA) Summit, and much more. The secret to our success is that we listen, and we unapologetically center the needs of working women.
In our FY24 Impact Report, we are Centering Women’s Voices, and giving them the space to share their own stories and experiences in their own words. Their needs are both valid and valued, and we are working hard to remove the barriers that stand between them, the opportunities they seek, and their ability to thrive. Through the experiences of these women, you can better visualize the importance and the impact of our work.
In our 2024 Impact Report, we are proud to feature women, in their own words, who have benefitted from WE’s work.

“I am a decades-long and very proud supporter of Women Employed. One thing I love most about WE is that it continually evolves to focus on the most important and timely issues for the women who need it most. WE’s work is research-based and accomplished in collaboration with a broad range of nonprofit, governmental, and corporate colleagues. And most importantly, WE gets results! It improves the lives and opportunities of individual women as well as their families and communities.”
