Status of Women and Girls in Santa Cruz County (SOWAG)

SOWAG

Did you know that:
The glass ceiling is still in place even for women with advanced education?
Women in jail have less opportunity than men for vocational rehabilitation?
87% of girls have experienced sexual harassment?

Tell us what you think!
The newly published Report on the Status of Women and Girls in Santa Cruz County contains startling information and findings that concern everyone in our community. It can be found at http://www.sccwc.org/Reports.htm

Be part of the change!
