Learn More About the Women’s Well-Being Index
On September 4. 2024 the California Commission on the Status of Women and Girls and the California Budget & Policy Center (Budget Center) unveiled the 2024 California Women’s Well-Being Index (WWBI). This updated Index, the first since 2020, provides a crucial look into the well-being of women across the state.
This update results from the strategic partnership between the Budget Center and the Commission, which aims to enhance and refresh the Index to reflect the current needs of women in California. By pooling their expertise and resources, these organizations have created a comprehensive tool and outreach plan to analyze women’s well-being and support the development of effective, equitable policies.
About the Commission
For nearly 60 years, the California Commission on the Status of Women and Girls has identified and worked to eliminate inequities in state laws, practices, and conditions that affect California’s women and girls. Established as a state agency with 17 appointed commissioners in 1965, the Commission regularly assesses gender equity in health, safety, employment, education, and equal representation in the military, and the media. The Commission provides leadership through research, policy and program development, education, outreach and collaboration, advocacy, and strategic partnerships.
All references to “women and girls” include gender-expansive individuals, cis women and girls, trans women and girls, nonbinary individuals, gender-nonconforming individuals, genderqueer individuals, and any women or girl identified individuals.
