NEW was recently invited to help the Department of Justice DEA agency honor National Women’s History Month at a brown bag lunch hosted by the agency’s Washington Division.
At the event, three dozen local DEA employees—both women and men—participated in a lively panel discussion with four local women’s groups. The group talk covered important topics about women’s health and wellness; local services for women facing poverty, homelessness and other challenges; and more.
Our executive director, Wanda Steptoe, shared information about our organization and spoke about homelessness in Washington, highlighting the specific struggles often faced by homeless single women and mothers with children.
We are glad for the opportunity to share in the DEA’s unique celebration of National Women’s History Month, and we thank them once again for inviting our participation.
