INTRODUCTION

Gender equity remains a challenge to educators, employers, administrators, and service providers as theyrespond to the growing diversity in today's workforce, changes in society and economicdemands. It means theexistence of conditions that gives girls and boys, women and men the same opportunities and choices to advancethemselves in education, training, and careers (Soldwedel, 1988) based on their abilities and talents and not ongender role stereotypes and expectations (Nash, 1991).

By the turn of the century, women are expected to account for nearly half of the labor force. The government ismoving to meet the growing needs of this population by enacting the Carl D. Perkins Vocational and AppliedTechnology Education Act of 1990 and introducing the Gender Education Equity Act (H.R. 1793) * of 1993 inCongress. The 1990 Perkins Act contains provisions designed to increase the educational and careeroppportunities of girls and women in vocational education. H.R. 1793 addresses the issues of gender bias andinequity within the educational system that negatively affects girls and women. It contains nine bills, includingthe Women's Educational Equity Act (WEEA). In addition to such positive legislative initiatives,a number oforganizations, institutions, educational information/research centers, and special interest groups have beenstrong advocates for the rights of girls and women.

rths resource guide contains descriptions of and contact information for (1) organizations, (2) educationalinformation centers, and (3) human resources focusing on gender equity. It is intended to be selective ratherthan comprehensive. Questions about the organizations in this guide should be directed to the correspondingcontact person/s. For resources on other topics of concern to special populations in vocational education,please contact the staff of the Office of Special Populations.
