BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the County of Kauai ensure women and girls enjoy all the rights and privileges and remedies that are bestowed on all people in the United States, no matter race, national origin, gender, sexual orientation or religious belief, and with a purpose to claim worldwide that the County is one within which women and girls can thrive. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the County of Kauai will not tolerate discrimination against women and girls or violence perpetrated against them in any form, by any hand. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that this Resolution is another step in the Council's commitment to eliminating all forms of violence against women and girls, their health and safety, and their equal academic, economic, and business opportunities. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that this Resolution shall be interpreted as supporting the eradication of all forms of discrimination against women and girls and promoting gender equality through the County. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the County of Kauai is urged to work with the Hawaii State Commission on the Status of Women and the County of Kauai Committee on the Status of Women to ensure gender equality in the County of Kauai. BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, that the County Clerk shall transmit a copy of this Resolution to the Honorable Mayor Bernard P. Carvalho, Jr., the Hawaii State Commission on the Status of Women, the County of Kauai Committee on the Status of Women, and all County departments and agencies.
