English .
The Office for Women's Rights was originally established in 1970 as the
Women's Division of the Office of Human Resources in the Executive Department.
Its mission was the promotion of equality for women in Seattle and the
monitoring and enforcement of ordinances relating to equal employment and
housing, and to provide staffing to the Seattle Women's Commission. In 1980,
OWR was reorganized and its enforcement function was transferred to the Human
Rights Department. OWR then assumed a broader role in advocacy, education and
outreach, and policy development regarding women's issues. In 1997, OWR was
abolished and its functions were incorporated into the Office of Civil
Rights.
Correspondence, reports, applications, and case files of three-year
pilot project designed to assist female heads of households living in Yesler
Terrace to achieve a greater degree of stability and self-sufficiency.
Components of Project YES included training, individual case management,
support groups, resource information and referrals, and child care. The project
was funded by a community development block grant.
Records are open to the public.
