Our Focus
A network of partners strengthening states’ economy and democracy through the empowerment of women.
According to the McKinsey Global Institute, our states’ economy stands to grow by as much as 15% if women’s participation in the labor force is boosted. Building on our success, we have launched an ambitious strategic plan to unlock women’s economic potential in Missouri. For more than 30 years, United WE, has been working to reduce barriers for women. We use research, nonpartisan policy solutions, and civic engagement to advance all women. We are a resource for elected officials, policymakers, and corporate leaders.
