Hearings
The
Massachusetts Commission on the Status of Women holds public hearings around the
state each year. The purpose of these hearings is for the MCSW Commissioners
and staff to listen to the voices of women and girls within the Commonwealth
regarding the status of their lives within Massachusetts.
The
Commission then writes a summary report of all the given testimony. A copy of
each report is sent to the Commission's appointing authorities, and the
legislators in the region where the hearing was held. In addition, the report
is posted on this website. It is hoped that this information will be used to
create changes in public policy and legislation in order to improve the
status of women in Massachusetts.
Additionally,
a copy of each report is posted below for easy download. Paper copies can be
requested from the Commission office by calling (617) 626-6520. Click on the
