The following article is part of a project looking at the smaller communities that arose within the Occupy Wall Street Protests at Zucotti Park. Published on the City Limits website in October 2011.
A group of women seeking support and representation within the Occupy Wall Street protests recently started a women’s caucus.
Women of Occupy Wall Street, or WOW, first met a week ago, to address the needs of the women protesters at Zuccotti Park. Practical worries like finding safe places to sleep and denouncing harassment are a priority. The group also hopes to better represent women in the working groups of Occupy Wall Street, and to advocate for women’s economic equality as part of the protests.
