Maryland Legislative Agenda for Women (MLAW)

The Maryland Legislative Agenda for Women (MLAW) is a  statewide coalition of women’s groups and individuals formed to provide a non-partisan, independent, voice for Maryland women and families. The group advocates for progressive legislation and policies that promote and protect the well being of Maryland women and their families and provide them opportunities to develop their full potential.

  • Freedom from discrimination in Maryland’s economic, educational, judicial, political, and social system
  • Equal access to quality health care and reproductive services
  • Safe and affordable child and dependant care
  • A quality, public education
  • Equitable and responsible implementation and enforcement of rights and protections provided by existing law
