Advocating for gender equity and equality at DOJ and federal agencies since 2016.

 

Better government starts with supporting government workers.

A functional democracy requires a robust civil service—one that’s fueled by qualified and nonpartisan public servants.

DOJ GEN’s advocacy campaigns, shaped by our 2,000-employee membership, have resulted in major policy reforms that have made federal agencies safer, healthier, and more equitable places to work—for everyone.


Our top issues include:

Pay equity.

Paid family leave.

Workplace sexual misconduct.

Abortion access.

Flexible work options.

Family and caregiver support.

IVF coverage.

Pregnancy and nursing accommodations.

Doxing and other online threats.


Our top accomplishments include:

Successfully pressuring DOJ to advance pay equity by issuing a regulation banning the use of salary history during hiring.

Executing a nationwide lobbying campaign that ended with legislation providing all federal workers with three months of paid parental leave.

Convincing DOJ to overhaul its sexual misconduct response system and urging the White House to require all federal agencies to follow suit.

Persuading DOJ to allow employees to opt out of travel to states without adequate healthcare access.

Convincing DOJ to take stronger measures to protect employees from doxing and other online threats.

Attracting regular media coverage of our advocacy campaigns from the nation’s top news sources.

Stay informed.

Our blog covers timely news about important issues affecting DOJ and the federal workforce.
