Among AFSCME's 1.4 million members, 52% are women. Many have attained leadership positions throughout the union, holding such positions as council president, director, and International vice president. One-third of AFSCME's local union presidents are women, and women make up almost half of all local union officers. For over two decades, AFSCME has had an active women's program, culminating in 1983 with the establishment of the Women's Rights Department. The department's mission is focused in three areas: encouraging women's leadership, activating women's political participation, and working on issues of particular concern to AFSCME's women members. Our work in each of these areas is guided by the principle that the union is strongest when all members, both men and women, work together as equal partners to ensure equity in the workplace and full participation in the union.
