In America, women still average 77 cents to every man's dollar. Native American women are two-and-a-half times more likely to be victimized, but no one from the House Republicans voted in favor of the Violence Against Women Act that would have protected undocumented immigrants, Native Americans, and LGBT women.Īfrican women are responsible for 75% of agricultural work and never see fair pay.
