Women's Empowerment Pillar
Women, Resources & Rights
Connecting women, especially newly arrived women, to what NYC actually offers them.
Best led by a board member with finance, legal, or advocacy experience.
What we'll cover
- NYC resources for women: housing, healthcare, legal aid
- Domestic violence resources and how to access them safely
- Perks and pathways for women's business ownership and entrepreneurship
- Plain language overview of workplace and tenant rights
Idea to build on
Paired with the Newcomer Women's Circles initiative from the Diversity Program: one audience, two touchpoints, more reasons to stay connected.
