Our Focus
Our primary focus in on Economic Self-Sufficiency (ESS) for all and the interrelated issues that impact ESS:
Child Care
Health Care
Housing
Jobs /Workforce Development
Transportation
Domestic violence and addiction issues affect all areas of concern.
Desired outcomes of the Coalition’s work will mean more issues will be publicly viewed through a "gender lens":
- More people will know about the needs for better policies and programming for women’s and girls’ economic security, access to services, safety and leadership opportunities.
- Policy makers and opinion leaders will be more engaged in issues regarding women’s and girls’ economic security, access to services, safety, and leadership opportunities.
- Systems (rules, laws, institutional processes) will change and be more responsive to women’s and girls’ needs.
- Coalitions and decision-making bodies will be more diverse and inclusive of all women’s and girls’ voices and issues.
- Advocacy on behalf of women and girls will be stronger, more coordinated, and strategic when allied groups work together and therefore more able to attain and sustain the necessary resources and changes for Bucks County.
