WE’RE TENACIOUS AND TRAILBLAZING
Advocating equity for women and girls in Florida since 1929.
We’re 1,400 women-strong, sharing a vision of equal opportunity for all as part of a national organization founded in 1881 to empower women and girls. Programs and activities of our 28 active branches throughout Florida focus on advancing gender equity through research, education and advocacy. We embrace a vision of equity for all.
In everything we do, we’re nonpartisan, fact-based, principled, inclusive, and intersectional. Our website highlights our accomplishments and what we want to achieve.
Wouldn’t you like more in-depth information on the important issues facing Florida from an equity-focused viewpoint? Then be sure to attend as many AAUW Florida Issue Forums this year as you can. All sessions will start at 6:00 PM and last for an hour. The series is open to AAUW members and guests.
Bayliss Fiddiman, National Women’s Law Center, will join us to
discuss a case study of Black girls in Miami-Dade schools, and
their experience with harsh school discipline policies. The girls
reported harassment, harm, humiliation and other challenges.
The study provides recommendations to promote a positive
school climate through holistic school safety.
