We want to hear from you!

Join the Massachusetts Commission on the Status of Women (MCSW) and partners for a virtual public hearing focusing on issues affecting women and girls, highlighting housing in the Commonwealth.

Public Hearings are an opportunity for women across the Commonwealth to give testimony on issues that matter most to them, which directly inform MCSW’s policy priorities for the 2023-2024 legislative session.

The event is free and open to the public – and entirely virtual. Leaders and residents from across the Commonwealth are invited to attend, and testimony is open to any member of the public, including elected officials. MCSW also encourages legislators and other community stakeholders to attend. We’re asking anyone interested in housing issues that women, children, and families to testify and share their experiences to learn from one another and create change, together.

What: Virtual Housing Hearing   

When: Thursday January 25, 2024  

Time: 5-7pm ET

Where: Register here by 01/16/24.

Why: The Commission holds multiple public hearings around the Commonwealth each year. The purpose of our public hearings is to give community stakeholders the opportunity to discuss issues and concerns important to women, as well as the gaps or barriers they have experienced in the provision of services available. 

We’re seeking registrants to give testimony on issues facing women, children, and families across the Commonwealth. Your input on issues that matter to you directly informs the MCSW legislative agenda and policy priorities. Join us and make your voice heard!
