KBIA: New partnership focuses on Missouri women
Excerpt of story by Hope Kirwan:
In partnership with the Institute of Public Policy at MU, the Women’s Foundation of Kansas City is collecting information about Missouri women for a public database, including things like income and employment, education, childcare and health. I spoke with Wendy Doyle, President and CEO of the Women’s Foundation, about how the project could have an impact on women’s issues in Missouri…
How did you identify issues important to Missouri women?
We first began to gather information to help us really narrow the research study by hosting listening posts around the state of Missouri and we profiled low-income women, as well as mid- to upper-income women to really hear firsthand what the issues are that women are challenged with.
