The Office for Women (OFW) works to promote equal rights, independence, dignity and equity for Westchester County women and their families through education and research, direct and contracted services, and by influencing public policy.

We work to ensure equal rights for all women. By supporting women in difficult, unjust circumstances, we attempt to protect women’s rights and lives. By celebrating women’s survival and achievements, we recognize the important contributions women make in our society. The Office for Women advances the cause of women, supports them in their choices, and serves their needs.

We address the needs of women and families in Westchester County on three levels:

• Public Policy and Advocacy
• Public Education and Research
• Direct Services
