The Status of Girls in Wisconsin

This report provides information, without extensive interpretation, to serve as a catalyst for young women and girls and the agencies that serve them to voice their perspectives on the issues and challenges they face and work to develop the solutions, programming and resources needed to address these issues.

Description

The Alverno College Research Center for Women and Girls is pleased to present, in collaboration with the Girl Scouts of Wisconsin Southeast, The Status of Girls in Wisconsin 2014 Report. This is the third report on the status of girls in Wisconsin as part of our continued commitment to raising awareness regarding issues that are impacting girls in our state. The original report was released in 2007, with an update in 2010. This current version focuses on girls (in most cases ages 10-19) across the state of Wisconsin. It should be noted that because data are drawn from various sources, age groups are at times different and thus noted throughout the report. As was true for previous editions, a major goal of this report is to provide relevant data through a centralized source. In fact, the Status of Girls in Wisconsin report is still the most comprehensive consolidation of information about the issues facing girls in our state.
