West Virginia Gender Mapping Project
Welcome to West Virginia Gender Mapping Project!
Gender plays an important role in the social and economic fabric of our society. This project explores the status of women in light of these gendered norms and learned behavior that shape men’s and women’s economic activities, health status, educational attainment, as well as other indicators of overall well-being.
Women in West Virginia are the foundation of many communities and fulfill important roles as they work to maintain healthy and vibrant households in the state. This website provides information about the economic, social and health status of women and children in West Virginia through an interactive map, tables, and figures.
The data from this project highlight the uneven development and socio-economic contrasts between rural and urban areas in West Virginia and throughout the Appalachian Region. In particular, the easily accessible and interactive map and figures on this website are useful resources for policymakers, academics, citizens and activists who are involved in improving the conditions for all people in West Virginia.
