Our Work
The Network conducts original research and collects data on women and communities of color. Research generated at the Network is used to help create informed public policies at the local,state, and national levels. We also analyze public policies to determine the impact they will have on individuals, families, and communities. Our research and policy priority areas include economic security, health disparities, leadership and human rights.The goal of our research and policy analysis is to increase access and relieve disparities for women and communities of color.
In addition to research and policy analysis, throughout the year, the Network hosts
convenings,
symposiums, l
ectures, and other
events with many of the nation's leading scholars, practitioners, and thought leaders. Our aim is to deepen public understanding of complex public policy issues through dialogue and a thorough examination of all sides of the issues.
