Los Angeles, CA, March 09, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Mount Saint Mary\u2019s University (MSMU), Los Angeles, today announced publication of its 10th<\/sup> annual Report on the Status of Women and Girls in California\u2122. This year\u2019s report takes an in-depth look at the challenges that women and girls in the state are facing as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The report will be released on March 31 during a virtual event titled Women and the Pandemic: Impact, Resilience and Moving Forward.<\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no doubt the pandemic will have long-lasting repercussions for women and girls across the state,\u201d said Ann McElaney-Johnson, PhD, president of Mount Saint Mary\u2019s University. \u201cA year into the pandemic, record numbers of women have left the workforce, and from those who continue to work, 42% of them are considered essential workers. In the last year, women have delayed medical care and experienced increased anxiety, all while holding their families and communities together. This report shines a light on how these setbacks will impact women for years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is the 10th<\/sup> anniversary of the annual report by the Center for the Advancement of Women at MSMU, which has helped inform public policy decisions and nonprofit funding priorities statewide. Governments, foundations and professional organizations regularly commission the Mount to create custom reports, while community partners amplify the research and provide MSMU with data from their own fields of expertise. The report serves as a policymaking advocacy tool for gender-equity advocates in California.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s virtual event will include a conversation with Los Angeles County Supervisors Kathryn Barger, Sheila Kuehl and Holly J. Mitchell, who will discuss how women leaders are changing the course of history in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n
