## Summary

**This resolution would recognize the large wage gap facing disabled women and reaffirm congressional support for equal pay for disabled women.** It highlights how race, education, disability type, and workplace segregation deepen that gap. - Disabled women and families: Calls out steep pay gaps: disabled women earn about 56 cents for every dollar paid to nondisabled men overall and 68 cents among full-time, year-round workers. - Women of color: Highlights racial variation in that gap, ranging from about 71 cents for disabled Asian American and Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander women to about 54 cents for disabled American Indian and Alaska Native women. - Workers and workplaces: Flags occupational segregation, the subminimum wage, and overrepresentation of disabled women in low-paid health care, clerical, and social service jobs as key barriers to livable wages. - LGBTQI+ disabled people: Notes extra barriers and calls for more inclusive data on trans and nonbinary disabled workers to understand employment and wage impacts.
