Women are charged more for essentials, paid less in the workplace, expected to provide more unpaid caregiving labor, and have less access to investment capital. Long story short: It costs more for a woman — or girl — to be financially, physically, and emotionally well here in California.

Join us on March 22 at the Skirball Cultural Center for the unveiling of the 2024 Report on the Status of Women and Girls in California™. Hosted by Mount Saint Mary’s, this event has been, for the last thirteen years, a unique platform to engage in vital conversations and inspire action.

Here are five (of many) reasons to join this empowering event:

1. Get the facts.
   Did you know that, on average, women in California earn 89% of what all men earn for full-time work? That medical treatment costs are higher for women and girls? Or that women save less than half of what men save annually?
   This year’s Report, titled “The Cost of Being a Woman: Solutions for Economic Equity,” explores these and other persistent inequalities and their underlying causes. Hear from experts and thought leaders, as they discuss this year’s key findings, contextualize its impact, and explore actionable strategies for creating a more equitable future for all in our state.
2. Network and connect.
   Attracting women and trailblazers from diverse fields and backgrounds, the event is the perfect opportunity to expand your network with meaningful, lasting connections. You’ll be surrounded by like-minded individuals ready to make a positive impact.
3. Be inspired.
   The data may be a bit daunting, but the conversation is enlightening and uplifting. Engage with a lineup of powerhouse speakers, including New York Times best-selling author Eve Rodsky, president and CEO of ERA Coalition and the Fund for Women’s Equality Zakiya Thomas, and psychiatrist and women’s health advocate Dr. Pooja Lakshmin, among others.
4. Take action.
   The Report does not just identify the issues; it offers clear objectives and actionable suggestions to address these inequalities in your day to day life. Since its creation in 2011, the Report has prompted meaningful change in the state, serving as an invaluable resource for advocates, business leaders, elected officials and engaged citizens.
5. Get swag!
   No event is complete without perks! Attendees will not only receive a copy of this year’s Report but also a custom gift bag filled with books and other swag, making this experience both informative and rewarding.
