Rep. Gallego Issues Statement in Honor of International Women’s Day
Washington, D.C. – Today, Congressman Ruben Gallego issued the following statement in honor of International Women's Day:
"I'm happy to join many of my colleagues and other people around the world in celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. These strides have been possible thanks to the perseverance and courage of female activists and allies who have worked to empower women and girls to be outstanding leaders, change makers and mentors. Today, on International Women's day, it is important that we reinforce our commitment to gender equality. That's why I will continue to fight for equal pay for equal work, women's reproductive rights, paid family leave and protection for victims of sexual and domestic violence. I look forward to continuing my work in Congress and in my community to champion gender equality."
