IMPACT OF STATE BUDGET CUTS ON WOMEN
OUTLINED IN MCSW REPORT

Real Cuts – Real People – Real Pain
The Effects of the Fiscal Crisis on Women & Girls in Massachusetts

The MCSW released this budget study at a press conference on
Tuesday, December 7, 2004 at the Massachusetts State House.

Part of the Massachusetts Commission on the Status of Women’s (MCSW) mission is to study and report on the Status of Women in Massachusetts. This comprehensive report examines the effects of changes in access to education and higher education, job training, child care, health care and other government services on the economic security and life opportunities of Massachusetts’ women and girls. It contains data of use to nearly every segment of society and the MCSW believes the results will contribute significantly to the public debate about future options.
