SEC. 4.119. COMMISSION ON THE STATUS OF WOMEN.

§ 4.119

In plain language

The Commission on the Status of Women is a seven-member body appointed by the Mayor for four-year terms, charged with developing and recommending policies to address issues disproportionately affecting women and girls—including domestic violence, sexual harassment, employment and health care inequity, and homelessness—and may take on additional duties by ordinance.

San Francisco has a Commission on the Status of Women with seven members. The Mayor picks these members, who serve for four years and can only be removed by the Mayor under specific rules. The Commission's job is to come up with ideas and recommendations to help the city tackle problems that hit women and girls especially hard, like domestic violence, sexual harassment, unfair treatment at work or in health care, and homelessness. The city can also give the Commission extra responsibilities if it wants to.
