The Committee on the Status of Women Discuss Understanding Period Poverty, Abortion Access
“Historically, the committee has allocated $1,000 each fiscal year to use for duties and responsibilities as deemed necessary. The committee expended $448.56 of their final closing budget last June to ensure as many people as possible — nonprofits or schools — had the supplies they needed, closing the gaps in socio-economic, environmental, and household factors that can sometimes prevent equal access.
The county committee, along with the Hawai‘i State Commission on Status of Women, or HSCSW, works for equality for women and girls across the state by acting as a catalyst for positive change through advocacy, education, collaboration, and program development.”
