Key findings of the Missouri Women’s Report:

• women earn less and are more likely to live in poverty than men;
• women face more obstacles than men when trying to get the health care we need;
• almost as many women earn higher education degrees as men, however women earn 90% of what men with degrees earn;
• women run into more roadblocks than men when seeking public office.

You can help Missouri become a state where women have equity with men. 

How?

• Urge your public servants to support the public policy recommendations in the Missouri Women’s Report.  If enacted these reforms would create greater equity for women in Missouri.

• Use the data to make your case for change: women’s health care advocates across the state are using data from the report to strengthen their case to get more women covered by health insurance.

• The Women’s Foundation of Greater St. Louis and the Foundation for Missouri Women (both funders of the project) are using the data to inform their grant making strategies; the data could inform your strategies to advance women’s status too.
