Commission on the Status of Women

YOU Have a Voice!

In partnership with you — the women of Sonoma County — we represent your needs, issues, and concerns to our local government officials to ensure that women's issues are in the forefront when considering policy and actions that will affect women on local, state, and national levels.

We currently have one opening in the 3^rd District. Also, a number of our ad hoc committees and liaison groups are accepting volunteers at this time. Please consider getting involved.

Voices of Sonoma County Women

The 2020 Voices of Sonoma County Women Report was prepared with the data generated from Listening Sessions held throughout the County, including one with the women housed at the Sonoma County Main Adult Detention Facility, and responses to the Voices of Sonoma County Women survey.

Data was collected between January 2019 and January 2020. We are currently sharing this report with organizations and individuals throughout Sonoma County.
