The Women’s Policy Alliance was formed to improve the status of women in Missouri.

We provide policy makers, advocates, and the media with data on how women in Missouri are faring compared to men. Based on that data we offer public policy recommendations that can promote equity for women. We believe that as women advance, prosper, and thrive, Missouri will become a stronger state. Our economy will grow, our citizens will become healthier and better educated, and our communities will become safer and more desirable places to live, play and work.

How? Take a look at our first research project, The Missouri Women’s Report 2011, and learn about the connections between women’s status and the overall health and well-being of families, communities, and yes, the economy.
