We believe MORE POWER + MORE INFLUENCE = Better Outcomes for Women, Families and Communities

An increase in women’s social, political, institutional, and economic power will result in improved outcomes for women, families, and communities at both the state and federal levels, as well as in society overall.

Passing and implementing women-and-family-friendly public policies at the state level results in better economic, health, and social outcomes for women, families, and communities. Additionally, these policies positively impact local and state economies.

States that pass, adopt, or implement women’s- and family-friendly policies achieve better outcomes for women, children, families, and communities. In states with good public policies for women, they have higher earnings and levels of educational attainment, are healthier, and are less likely to live in poverty.
