Trabajadoras Campaign
The campaign
Did you know that the average Latina worker earns only 52 cents on the dollar compared to her white, non-Hispanic male counterpart? They are also more likely to suffer wage theft violations than their male Latino counterparts and experience sexual assault in the workplace at much higher rates than men.
In light of these findings, LCLAA launched the Trabajadoras Campaign in 2012 to raise awareness about the Latina pay gap and to fight for equal pay and dignified conditions for Latinas on the job. The campaign is a wide-reaching education and engagement program that highlights the difficulties faced by Latinas inside and outside of the workplace. Through this campaign, LCLAA looks to empower Latinas to speak out and ensure their rights, both at work and at home.
Trabajadoras Fellows in the 2019-2020 cohort take part in a training.
The Fellowship
The Trabajadoras Fellowship empowers Latinas by providing them with the knowledge and experience they need to become gender equity and labor movement leaders. As part of this six-month program, fellows engage in coalition building, participate, and coordinate civic engagement efforts, and raise awareness about the gender wage gap.
