New Report! Gender Equity in Western Massachusetts
October 10, 2023
This report is the third commissioned by the Women’s Fund of Western Massachusetts,
following the status reports completed in 2013 and 2019. Its purpose is to:
- Shed light on strengths, progress, and areas of continued or emerging gender inequity in our four-county region of Berkshire, Franklin, Hampden, and Hampshire counties.
- Inform the foundation’s strategic planning and grantmaking for the next several years.
- Provide actionable data and insights for our current partners, and to motivate others to pursue gender and racial equity.
- Support collective advocacy by using findings to engage stakeholders, community-based organizations, for-profit companies, other funders, government, higher education, and other agencies in advancing gender-equitable policies and practices.
