Women are the backbone of our communities, but we are too sidelined or encouraged into professional pathways less likely to lead to executive leadership. What’s worse, public policies and practices continue to punish women for seeking personal independence, freedom of our own expression, and personal safety. Even now, our criminal legal system deals far harsher sentences to women, and young girls are too often objectified, sexualized, and punished when they seek to protect themselves. The Rosenzweig Report—and Jay Rosenzweig's vital human rights work—plays a critical role in shining a light on executive leadership practices. By doing so, The Report creates new insights into reliable pathways into leadership, new opportunities for women everywhere, and new pressure to align our community values with practices that support women's true and full access to opportunity.
