BY KAREN DEWITT | Most major corporations these days claim to have a core commitment to women’s rights.
*
Amazon
says
the
company
promotes
“gender
equality
and
empowerment
in
the
workplace,
marketplace
and
communities.”
*
AT&T
says
its
core
values
include
“gender
equity
and
the
empowerment
of
women.”
*
Coca-Cola
says
there
is
“overwhelming
evidence
that
achieving
equality
and
empowerment
for
women
has
broad
ripple
effects
that
are
good
for
society.”
*
CVS
claims
to
be
working
“to
support
the
unique
health
needs
of
women
at
every
age.”
Some companies even declare their support for abortion rights: Amazon, which touts its commitment to equity in the workplace, has said it will pay travel expenses for “non-life-threatening medical treatments including abortions … [if] not available within 100 miles of an employee’s home.”
