My response would be very similar.
We need to change the systemic discrimination that women face. There is no one from the women's equality movement who would oppose more money, and in fact we've been calling for more money to go to women's programming to help individual women as those problems occur.
I'll just refer back to my past life as a social worker, in which oftentimes I worked with women in crisis. One of the things I was taught early on by a very sage woman social worker, who had dedicated her whole life to women and children and changing conditions, was that if you're not a social advocate as a social worker, then all you're going to do is deal with one problem after the next, one file and then another file, and you won't change the lives of those women. That's why the advocacy work is important.
Think of where we wouldn't be if we hadn't the advocacy work and the research work that was done by women's organizations till now. Start to pull out all that wonderful work that's been done, by the court challenges program, by NAWL, by FAFIA, by CRIAW. The list goes on and on. Think of where all of the women--all of us, in this room, and all the men who have women in their lives--would be if we hadn't had that advocacy work. That's what's critical. Yes, we have to do the work.
