Governor Andrew Cuomo introduced legislation in June to end discrimination and inequality based on gender. If enacted by the Legislature, the Women’s Equality Act would achieve pay equity, stop sexual harassment, prevent pregnancy discrimination, strengthen human trafficking laws and protect a woman’s freedom of choice. “In 1848, the women’s suffrage movement began in America at the first Women’s Rights Convention in Seneca Falls,” said Cuomo. “Since then, New York has been at the forefront of important social and legal movements that have advanced the equal treatment of all people. Over the years, however, New York has fallen behind in its role as a progressive leader on women’s rights.” The new law would ban sexual harassment in every workplace, regardless of the number of employees. Right now, NY State law only prohibits sexual harassment in workplaces with four or more employees. More than 60 percent of NY State employers have less than four employees, so this bill would have a significant impact. In 2011, women accounted for 75 percent of all sexual harassment complaints filed with the NYS Division of Human Rights and 83 percent of those filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
