NOW continues to fight the war on poor women and their children

Article Abstract:

The National Organization for Women demanded that economic attacks on women be stopped. They asked the Senate Finance Committee to continue their Aid to Families with Dependent Children. A number of welfare proposals were under consideration in the Congress but none of them point to the real causes of poverty. Changes in the economic structure and education policy and equal pay for men and women are the other issues which need to be addressed.
