The Civic Engagement Challenge
America faces a civic education crisis that disproportionately impacts women's political participation:
While American women have voted at higher rates than men in every presidential election since 1980, women's voices continue to be underrepresented at all levels of political and civic leadership. Studies show this civic education gap particularly suppresses women's political participation and leadership.
The barriers women face include:
- Lack of accessible, nonpartisan civic education
- Limited understanding of how to engage effectively with political systems
- Insufficient networks and resources for community organizing
- Systemic obstacles for underserved women, particularly those who have experienced gender-based violence, discrimination, or harassment
- Geographic civic deserts with limited access to civic infrastructure
