These are positions that mainly currently occupy. What does this tell you about the current administration and what place they feel women hold as professionals?! The country is already having trouble filling positions in and What do you think is going to happen to the number of people getting these ??!! We should all be worried about the direction this is going in!

CHILDHELP NATIONAL DAY OF HOPE

Childhelp National Day of Hope takes place each year during National Child Abuse Prevention Month. The first Wednesday in April is set aside to ask the country to make a life-long commitment to joining the fight to end child abuse and neglect.



Child abuse and neglect affect an estimated 700,000 children each year in the United States. Of these, the youngest are the most vulnerable. In 2015 in the United States, statistics from the U.S. Administration for Children & Families estimate that 1,670 children died as a result of abuse and neglect.

The victims who survive face potential life-long issues. Some of the issues include:

* at risk of becoming abusive themselves
* may abuse alcohol and drugs
* depression
* su***de
* criminal behavior
* other addictions

But there is hope. Organizations across the country provide support to the victims through programs that not only raise awareness but provide ways to prevent child abuse. The programs also create pathways to intervention leading children out of abusive situations and into either foster homes or group homes. These programs create a network of information designed to increase the awareness of the victims so they can feel empowered to speak to the adults in their lives who will advocate for them.

The day also provides resources to encourage reporting of abuse through hotlines to bring the vulnerable to safety.

HOW TO OBSERVE CHILDHELP DAY OF HOPE

- Light a 5 wick candle and observe a 5-minute silence to represent the approximately 5 children who die every day as a result of abuse in the United States.

- Fight to end child abuse.

- Support organizations that protect and care for children.

-Volunteer or donate.

- use to post on social media.

CHILDHELP NATIONAL DAY OF HOPE HISTORY

In 2000, a Congressional resolution designated Childhelp National Day of Hope to be observed on the first Wednesday of April each year. Yvonne Fedderson and Sara O'meara of Childhelp.orgworked to bring this day and the victims it honors to light.

Excellent meeting last night of the Syracuse Federation of Women’s Clubs! We had representatives of some of our member clubs talk about their great organizations. They shared information about their missions and projects with our group. The biggest takeaway is that we are all in this together!! We all want to help people in our community get ahead…whether it’s through scholarships, donations of products, helping people register and get out to vote, housing and advocacy, etc…The more we know about what each of our groups is doing the more we can help one another. As my mom used to say, “many hands make light work”!!

If you want to know more about Syracuse Federation of Women’s Clubs, our affiliate clubs, or GFWC (our international organization) please reach out to us here!!

The History of Women’s Equality Day

At the behest of Rep. Bella Abzug (D-NY), in 1971 and passed in 1973, the U.S. Congress designated August 26 as “Women’s Equality Day.” The date was selected to commemorate the 1920 certification of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution, granting women the right to vote. This was the culmination of a massive, peaceful civil rights movement by women that had its formal beginnings in 1848 at the world’s first women’s rights convention, in Seneca Falls, New York. The observance of Women’s Equality Day not only commemorates the passage of the 19th Amendment, but also calls attention to women’s continuing efforts toward full equality. Workplaces, libraries, organizations, and public facilities now participate with Women’s Equality Day programs, displays, video showings, or other activities.
