In March 2021, Project Good interviewed Sharmili Majmudar, Executive Vice President of Policy and Organizational Impact at Women Employed which is an advocacy organization for women in the workplace. The organization since 1973, works with individuals, employers, educators, and policymakers to address the challenges women face in their jobs every day, and to ensure all women can attain the skills they need for the jobs they want.

“Workplaces are designed around men who are the solo breadwinners in the household who do not have caregiving responsibilities and that isn’t the world we live in today. Huge percentages of women are either co-breadwinner or primary breadwinner in their household.”
