AAUW’s advocacy work at the national organization level builds upon a century of responsible public participation at the local, state, national, and international levels. The national member-endorsed Public Policy Program illuminates and advances AAUW’s mission of promoting equity and education for all women and girls.  AAUW conducts comprehensive advocacy to pursue its public policy priorities.

Why So Few? Women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics.  Read the report at our national site.  While you are there, check out other current reports including The Gender Pay Gap.
