but there they are not honored, there all the religious ceremonies become fruitless. Manu III 56
HASC Key Actions - On April 7, 2014 HASC joined faith communities to sign the Paychek Fairness faith letter sent to Senator Mikulski.
Dear
Senator Mikulski:
On behalf of the
undersigned
religious and religiously affiliated organizations representing the
millions of
Americans
of
faith committed to
preventing gender-based discrimination in the
workplace,
we urge you to
support the Paycheck Fairness Act (S. 84).
The
Paycheck Fairness Act would strengthen the
Equal Pay Act of 1963
and Title VII of the Civil Rights
Act
of 1964 in order to provide
equivalent safeguards for women
as for other victims of workplace pay discrimination. More details...
- On March 7th, 2013 HASC launched the "Hindus United Against Domestic Violence and Sexual Abuse Campaign" as part of its Women's Empowerment Initiative. More details....
The launch of the “Hindus United Against Domestic Violence & Sexual Abuse” awareness campaign comes on the heels of our successful collective efforts to re-authorize the inclusionary VAWA bill which was signed by President Obama today. HASC is leading a grassroots level campaign and is working with many places of worship to prominently display the informational posters (such as in the stalls) and increase social justice education.
