The Institute of Women's Policy Research (IWPR) is a think tank dedicated to analyzing public policy and its impact on women. On the IWPR's Status of Women in the States website, visitors can explore national and state data relating to gender on the following issues: Employment and Earnings, Political Participation, Poverty and Opportunity, Reproductive Rights, Health and Well Being, Work and Family, and Violence and Safety. The site's homepage presents this data in a map of the United States, and the IWPR has assigned a grade to each state based on these seven categories. Individual state data may be accessed by clicking on a specific state. In addition, visitors can explore data for specific population groups (e.g. Older Women, Women in Unions) or download complete national reports by the organization through the Explore the Data and Publications sections of this website.
