WHY ACTIVATE 3.8?

Activate 3.8 is a statewide campaign to activate the full economic potential of 3.8 million Washington women and close the gender wage gap in our state.

Washington state is among the worst in the nation for the gender pay gap, a reality that stunts our state’s economy, restricts opportunities for 3.8 million women, and has the potential to limit future generations of girls.

The Washington State Women’s Commission is on a mission to change that by bringing together state agencies and legislators with business, labor and academia to co-create solutions that enhance equity and opportunity at every stage of a woman’s career.
