Do you feel unsafe?
Time’s up!!
We believe you...
If you are here, it means you may be experiencing discrimination at work
We are sorry this is happening to you. We believe you. You may have been told that you’re being too sensitive, or that it’s all in your head. It’s not. It’s real. And we’re going to help you.
- Do you feel held back or defeated? We believe you. Imagine waking up in a few weeks or months, and feeling powerful and in charge, because you took a stand and did not back down.
- Did you stand up to injustice and now find yourself without income? We believe you. Imagine being able to pay down your student loans, buy a house, or create a college fund for your kids, all because you took the brave step of fighting discrimination.
- Are you worried about your employer treating other women even worse? We believe you. Imagine the impact your stand can make for the women working for the same company, both present and future.
- Are they disparaging your name and hard work ever since you took a stand? We believe you. Imagine if your employer had to respect terms we put in place so your reputation is protected.
Pushed down or kicked out? Stand up.
We’ve got you. Let’s go.
