Women's/Gender Issues
These organizations work to protect and promote women's rights, empower women's entry into the job market, work against sexism and other forms of gender-based discrimination, and respond to issues that disproportionately victimize women, such as sexual assault and domestic violence.
Organizations marked as "FWS" have signed contracts with Loyola University to hire one or more Loyola students through the community-based Federal Work-Study program. Fuller descriptions of each organization, as well as posted volunteer, intern, and paid positions with these and other Chicago-area and national agencies, can be found on Loyola's RamblerLink system.
