AAUW believes that ensuring and increasing access to educational opportunities for all women and girls is imperative to helping them obtain financial security and economic independence. To advance this goal, AAUW’s 2007-09 Public Policy Program Biennial Action Priorities state, in part, that AAUW advocates “vigorous enforcement of Title IX and all other civil rights laws pertaining to education; and increased support for, and access to, higher education for women and other disadvantaged populations.” 1 One major problem that continues to pervade our nation’s schools at every level and hinder equity in education for women and girls is sexual harassment.
