The ACLU-CT believes that all women should have equal access to employment, free from discrimination. We oppose discrimination based on sex and gender stereotypes and on pregnancy and parenting.

By ensuring all Connecticut workers are aware of what their pay should be, it makes it more likely that women will be able to access fair and equal pay for equal work. Because of that, House Bill 6380 could take steps towards ending some of the harms of past and current discriminatory practices that devalue the work of women, particularly women of color, and perpetuate the cycle of underpaying women.
