NWLC Comment on EEOC Strategic Plan 2022 2026_Docket ID EEOC 2022 0004

5 Dec 2022

For fifty years, the National Women’s Law Center has fought for gender justice—in the courts, in public policy, and in our society— working across the issues that are central to the lives of women and girls, especially women of color, LGBTQ people, and low-income women and families. [...] The current Draft Strategic Plan lays out a set of three strategic goals tied to specific performance measures that will allow the Commission to achieve its mission more effectively while promoting accountability to the public. [...] Given the sheer number of charges and federal sector requests, and the reality of limited resources, it is critical that the EEOC continue to engage in charge prioritization based on a Strategic Enforcement Plan that allows the Commission to target its resources most effectively. [...] We are pleased at the inclusion of accountability measures that promote the use of data to determine the qualitative impact of the EEOC’s education and outreach efforts. [...] In addition, we support efforts to update sub-regulatory guidance documents and resource materials, which are critical to fostering understanding of the laws, and to provide these materials in plain language to make them more accessible to both workers and employers.
