WWA New Research Study Reveals Status of Women in Westchester |
|
|
Westchester Women’s Agenda (WWA) recently released a research study showing that despite gains in several sectors of women's lives, the lack of affordable housing and childcare costs remain perennial issues facing them. The research report, drawing on U.S. Census data and other sources, revealed a mixed picture for how women, especially those of limited means, are faring in Westchester County. The issues studied included health, housing, violence against women, economic empowerment, family, child and elder care, and immigration. The report recommended an extensive list of solutions such as funding programs to improve Black maternal health outcomes; establishing dedicated funding for domestic violence providers; implementing pay equity policies; providing access to healthcare and other services for immigrants; increasing investment in childcare, enacting programs to reduce the poverty rate and enable elderly residents to live safely in their homes.
