The ACLU seeks to end gender discrimination, sexual harassment, and workplace exploitation by strengthening affirmative action policies, guaranteeing healthy and safe working conditions, ensuring that immigration status is not used by employers to deprive women workers of their rights, and challenging the undervaluing of "women’s work."
