Why not "et aux des femmes"?

    "aux" is a contraction of "à-les", so you don't need another article.

      But if you used "pour" rather than "a," it would still be "et aux femmes" and not "et pour les femmes?"

        yes "pour les femmes", because with "pour" there is no need for a contraction (à-les = aux)
