THE UNITED THE
OF
STATES
International Women's Year 1975
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
There is a growing awareness today of the significant contributions that American
women have made to our country's development, its culture, and its social and
economic life. Women have enriched our society as homemakers and mothers and
our community life through dedicated service as volunteers. Their entry into the labor
force in increasing numbers has strengthened and expanded our economy. Despite
these important contributions, women continue to face inequities as they seek a
broader role in the life of our Nation.
In recent years, we have made significant progress toward remedying this situation,
not only by striking down barriers to the employment and advancement of women
in Government, but by ending discriminatory practices in other fields through
legislation, Executive order, and judicial decree. Even when legal equality is achieved,
however, traditional discriminatory attitudes, beliefs and practices may persist, pre-
venting women from enjoying the full and equal rights that they deserve.
This Administration is committed to providing an opportunity for women to
participate on an equal basis with men in our national life. We support the Equal
Rights Amendment, we are moving vigorously to ensure full equal employment oppor-
tunity for women in the Federal service, and we are enforcing the law requiring similar
efforts in business and institutions which receive Federal contracts or assistance.
The United Nations General Assembly, by adoption of Resolution 3010 of
December 18, 1972, designated 1975 as International Women's Year. This resolution
offers an exceptional opportunity to intensify the national effort already underway in
the United States to further advance the status of women.
In observing International Women's Year, we should emphasize the role of
women in the economy, their accomplishments in the professions, in Government, in
the arts and humanities, and in their roles as wives and mothers.
The Congress approved the Equal Rights Amendment to the Constitution in
1972. It would be a fitting tribute to America's women to complete the ratification of
this amendment by 1975.
Let us begin now to work together, men and women, to make 1975 an outstanding
year for women in the United States, and lend our support to the advancement of
women around the world.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States
of America, do hereby designate the year 1975 as International Women's Year in the
United States. I call upon the Congress and the people of the United States, interested
groups and organizations, officials of the Federal Government and of State and local
governments, educational institutions, and all others who can be of help, to begin now
to provide for the observance of International Women's Year with practical and
constructive measures for the advancement of the status of women, and also to
cooperate with the activities and observances to be arranged under the auspices of the
United Nations.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirtieth day of
January in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-four, and of the Independ-
ence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-eighth.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
JANUARY 30, 1974
Office of the White House Press Secretary
THE WHITE HOUSE
INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S YEAR 1975
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
A PROCLAMATION
There is a growing awareness today of the significant
contributions that American women have made to our country's
development, its culture, and its social and economic life.
Women have enriched our society as homemakers and mothers
and our community life through dedicated service as volunteers.
Their entry into the labor force in increasing numbers has
strengthened and expanded our economy. Despite these
important contributions, women continue to face inequities
as they seek a broader role in the life of our Nation.
In recent years, we have made significant progress
toward remedying this situation, not only by striking down
barriers to the employment and advancement of women in
Government, but by ending discriminatory practices in other
fields through legislation, Executive order, and judicial
decree. Even when legal equality is achieved, however,
traditional discriminatory attitudes, beliefs and practices
may persist, preventing women from enjoying the full and
equal rights that they deserve.
This Administration is committed to providing an
opportunity for women to participate on an equal basis
with men in our national life. We support the Equal
Rights Amendment, we are moving vigorously to ensure full
equal employment opportunity for women in the Federal
service, and we are enforcing the law requiring similar
efforts in business and institutions which receive Federal
contracts or assistance.
The United Nations General Assembly, by adoption
of Resolution 3010 of December 18, 1972, designated 1975
as International Women's Year. This resolution offers
an exceptional opportunity to intensify the national
effort already underway in the United States to further
advance the status of women.
In observing International Women's Year, we should
emphasize the role of women in the economy, their accomplish-
ments in the professions, in Government, in the arts and
humanities, and in their roles as wives and mothers.
The Congress approved the Equal Rights Amendment to
the Constitution in 1972. It would be a fitting tribute
to America's women to complete the ratification of this
amendment by 1975.

Let us begin now to work together, men and women,
to make 1975 an outstanding year for women in the United
States, and lend our support to the advancement of women
around the world.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the
United States of America, do hereby designate the year 1975
as International Women's Year in the United States. I call
upon the Congress and the people of the United States,
interested groups and organizations, officials of the
Federal Government and of State and local governments,
educational institutions, and all others who can be of
help, to begin now to provide for the observance of
International Women's Year with practical and constructive
measures for the advancement of the status of women,
and also to cooperate with the activities and observances
to be arranged under the auspices of the United Nations.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand
this thirtieth
day of January in the year of our Lord
nineteen hundred seventy-four, and of the Independence
of the United States of America the one hundred
ninety-eighth.
RICHARD NIXON
