Executive Summary
The Commission on the Status of Women is a Commission of the City and County of San Francisco whose purpose is to ensure women and girls equal economic, social, political and educational opportunities throughout the City. The Commission was established by the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in 1975 after years of advocacy on the part of the San Francisco women’s community. In 1994, the voters of San Francisco approved Proposition E, which created a permanent City Department on the Status of Women to carry out the policies of the Commission.
