WBASNY has longstanding support for legislation such as the ones outlined on Monday that acknowledges and enshrines into law the dignity and equality of every person.

We applaud the Governor's efforts to work with the New York State Legislature to bring issues that are critical to women and children in our state to the forefront of the legislative agenda and to protect the rights of the most vulnerable members of our populace.

WBASNY's more than 4,400 attorneys and judges in private practice, government, academia and the Courts are dedicated to making life better for all women by advocating for equality and fair treatment of all women and is dedicated to the advancement of women and children. Governor Cuomo's legislative agenda reflects our common goal to improve, promote and protect women in the work place and society.
