Humans Affair Program (HAP)
Susan Meyer and Karen Sauvingé were activist who offered support to Carnita Wood. They were apart of the women's section in the Humans Affair Program (HAP) at Cornell University. HAP originally offered assistance in prison reform, urban redevelopment, and money and banking. In 1974, a women's section in HAP was formed in which Lin Farley, a long time activist, was the director of. When Meyer, Sauvingé and Farley began talking to Wood, they discovered that women all over the world experienced a situation similar to Woods where they got fired or quit due to not going along with unwanted sexual advances. The women began to take action as they found attorneys for Wood and argued that title VII should include protecting women from sex-based intimidation in the work force. By looking to support working women, the women from HAP created a working women's organization known as Working Women United (WWU).
