“The motion calls for the county to “apply a gender lens” when participating with other entities in consortiums, agreements, grants, contracts, partnerships and cross-jurisdictional work; acting as an employer and as a provider of services.
The motion asks all 37 county departments to examine their policies and procedures in order to understand where they may inadvertently be failing to take into consideration the unique needs of women and girls.
The motion also calls for a countywide study of the ways women and girls are affected by county policies, programs and services and other actions the county undertakes, and for the creation of a governing council for the initiative, with each of the five supervisors appointing three members.
