The Alliance for Women exists to improve the status of women in South Carolina by serving as a disseminator of information, an incubator/resource generator, a convener of expertise and a catalyst for change to champion women in 3 priorities: Economic Autonomy, Health & Well Being and Political Participation.
Economic Autonomy
SC ranks in the bottom 3rd for all states in Employment & Earnings as well as the Social and Economic Autonomy indices.
Health & Well-Being
Women earn less, are more likely to live in poverty than men, are less likely to own a business and experience many obstacles to good health and well-being.
Political Participation
SC ranks 50th of all states for women in elected office. And for the first time in 3 decades, its state Senate has no women.
