The Women’s Foundation of Oregon just released a report called “Count Her In” (see the full report here). It reveals some very sad statistics about women in Oregon.
-Nearly half of the females surveyed experienced a childhood trauma such as parental abuse, domestic violence, and rape.
-Oregon women have the highest rates in the nation of reported depression and alcohol abuse.
-Women are struggling to pay childcare costs on wages that are nearly half less then their male counterparts.
This report shines light on the fact that a significant number of Oregon females are hurting.
