The Texas Women's Foundation and Every Texan released a statewide index report examining women's economic security, stability, and success in Texas.

Why it matters
The Texas Women's Economic Opportunity Index compared conditions for women across more than 200 Texas counties. The report highlights disparities in pay, leadership opportunities, overall well-being, and childcare, and the foundation hopes lawmakers will use the index to guide future state investments.
