Presented by The Community Fund for Women & Girls in partnership with Aurora Women and Girls Foundation, CTData Collaborative and CT Public.

Eleven percent of women live in poverty in Connecticut. Eviction levels, which disproportionately affect women, are higher than they were pre-pandemic. Local advocates and experts in early childcare education say funding and staffing shortfalls only deepened during the pandemic.

Join us for a discussion on the economic inequities faced by women, especially women of color, since the start of the pandemic. We'll focus on childcare, housing, and economic mobility as we look at the data and what we can do to make a change.

The panel coincides with the release of a new report, "Elusive Equity: Continuing Effects of the Pandemic on Women’s Economic Security," created by CTData Collaborative and funded by Aurora Women and Girls Foundation and the Community Fund for Women & Girls.

The live event will be recorded for a future broadcast on the CT Public podcast Disrupted, hosted by Dr. Khalilah L. Brown-Dean.
