Toward Equity

Investing in Women and Girls for Connecticut's Future

Toward Equity is the latest collaborative data report chronicling the status of Connecticut’s women and girls over the past 25 years. It urges deeper investment in equity-driven solutions and challenges philanthropy and policymakers to center racial and gender equity, creating a stronger, more inclusive Connecticut where everyone can thrive.

The report is the product of a collaboration between the Aurora Women and Girls Foundation, research partner Demographic Perspectives, LLC, The Community Foundation for Greater New Haven’s Community Fund for Women and Girls, the Fund for Women and Girls of Fairfield County’s Community Foundation, and 20 women and girls serving nonprofits and advocacy organizations across Connecticut.
