EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FUND
Each year Ballwin-Chesterfield is able to offer scholarships to non-traditional female students attending colleges and universities in the St. Louis area. The funding for these scholarships is provided by the generous contributions to B-C’s Dollars for Scholars program. Please consider sponsoring a Dollars event and attend as many as possible. This year we are fortunate to be able to assist four students, two at the University of Missouri St. Louis and two at Maryville. All are doing well and one student will graduate in May. EOF also benefits from the continuing Used Book Sale. Thanks to Danielle Egeling for donating used books that totaled $25.50 this past month. The sale will continue through April. Thanks to all who contributed to the individual giving collection in November. Over $2,500 was collected and sent to National. Ballwin-Chesterfield members continue to be most generous in supporting the Educational Opportunities Fund.

PUBLIC POLICY The Ballwin-Chesterfield AAUW Community Action Grant financed a second successful Breaking the Chains of Human Trafficking Conference on January 10. Guests experienced a whole new program, where they put together the pieces of the human trafficking puzzle and looked for “Zoey” who had been trafficked. Speakers included Dr. Kathleen Thimson, a founding member of the Human Trafficking Collaborative Network at Washington University; Christine McDonald, who uses her experience as a trafficked woman to advocate for other women and children; Chief Roy Joachimstaler, O’Fallon Chief of Police; Amanda Colegrove, organizer for the Coalition Against Trafficking & Exploitation (CATE); Kimberly Ritter, who spearheads NIX which is dedicated to combat child sex trafficking in hotel properties; Detective Lawrence McClain, who fights cybercrime; Amanda Mohl, Anti-Trafficking Community Coordinator at the International Institute of St. Louis; Kate Lloyd, managing attorney of Bakhita Law, a nonprofit community organization dedicated to providing legal representation to individuals affected by human trafficking; and Shima Rostami, who spoke about the dangers of human
trafficking everywhere. Barb and Pat want to thank the following branch members who volunteered: Lorna Anderson, Marian Bauer, Suzanne Couch, Carol Derington, Carol Greenaway, Sr. Esther Hogan, Mersine Kallaos, Sr. Ruth Kertz, Eve LaJeunesse, Barb McQuitty, Shima Rostami, Rosann Swaringim, Sage Tabor, and Anne Wolf. We sincerely want to thank the AAUW members who attended and ensured that we had another successful event. With such wonderful support from B-C members, how could it fail? ~ Barb Butchart & Pat Shores, Public Policy Co-Directors
LEGAL ADVOCACY FUND
The Legal Advocacy Fund works to challenge sex discrimination in higher education and the workplace. Sex discrimination today takes a variety of forms: unfair pay, pregnancy discrimination, sexual harassment, and sexual assault. Violations of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 can affect both women and men. LAF addresses these barriers by informing people of their rights and using the legal system to seek justice and change. In fact, these laws exist to protect students from discrimination, harassment, and assault. The rights of students are protected by federal, state, and local laws, yet many campuses fail to protect students or provide them with equal opportunities. By using AAUW Legal Advocacy Fund resources, students ensure that their rights are protected on campus. These resources provide news updates as well as programs on how to fight sexual assault on campus and ensure that the campus is complying with Title IX. Also, if money is needed for a social justice event on campus, AAUW Legal Advocacy Fund Campus Outreach Grants fund campus activism. These grants provide up to $750 in funding for AAUW student organizations, AAUW branches, or Younger Women’s Task Force (YWTF) chapters to take action around AAUW’s issues on campus. ~ Shima Rostami, LAF Committee
From AAUW's 79 Examples of How Women are Still Treated Unequally Family Matters ~ Mothers are the sole or primary breadwinners for a record 40 percent of households today, compared with 11 percent of families in 1960. ~ After becoming fathers, men see a 6 percent increase in earnings, even after controlling for factors such as hours worked and marital status, while new mothers see a 4 percent decrease per child. ~ According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, on an average day, 22 percent of men do housework–such as cleaning or laundry–compared with 50 percent of women. ~ Forty-three percent of men do food preparation or cleanup on an average day, compared with 70 percent of women. Men are slightly more likely to do lawn and garden care than women–12 percent compared with 8 percent.
