The U.S. Department of Labor Tuesday awarded over $1.5 million to five community organizations, including a Baltimore nonprofit, “to prevent and respond to gender-based violence and harassment against underserved and marginalized women workers.” The department’s Women’s Bureau Director Wendy Chun-Hoon said these Fostering Access, Rights and Equity, or FARE, grants are part of the department’s work towards meeting the goals set out in President Joe Biden’s national action plan for addressing and preventing gender-based violence.
