Boston Women's Workforce Council

Who We Are

The Boston Women's Workforce Council (BWWC) is a public-private partnership between Mayor Martin J. Walsh and the Boston business community.

Our Mission

The BWWC’s mission is to close the gender wage gaps in Boston and make it the best place in the country for working women by removing the visible and invisible barriers to women’s advancement.

The 100% Talent Compact

In a city where women make up more than half the residents and half the workforce, pay equity is not only the right thing to do, it is the smart thing to do. In partnership with Mayor Martin J. Walsh the BWWC implements the 100% Talent Compact, a first-in-the-nation approach to reaching pay equity for working women. To this day, over 250 Boston-area employers have pledged to closing the gender wage gap in our city.
