Center for Women's Issues

Center for Women's Issues The Center for Women’s Issues is a non-partisan, non-profit organization with the mission of revealing the true policy issues of Michigan women.

The Center for Women’s Issues (“CWI”) was founded as a non-partisan, non-profit organization with the mission of revealing the true platform issues of Michigan women. Through extensive, strategic surveying and polling, we will identify the key issues of importance to women across the state, allowing CWI to provide political parties, lawmakers, and organizations with the real issues affecting women

’s lives, families, professions, and voting behaviors. A non-partisan advisory panel of women with diverse backgrounds and experiences have come together to ensure Michigan women’s voices are heard. The Center for Women’s Issues Advisory Group is comprised of women leaders from across Michigan who are tasked with driving conversation and support for the goals of CWI. A statewide study of Michigan women will be conducted in late 2015. The statewide survey will be of women 18 and older randomly stratified across the statewide to represent the demographic makeup of women in Michigan. The survey will be conducted through live telephone interviews inclusive of cell phones to ensure a representative sample of women in Michigan. Final Sample design will include 800 to 1000 completed interviews with a margin of error of +/- 3.00%. Upon completion of the “Base Study”, Town Halls will be held to continue gathering opinions and Michigan’s women and targeted groups of women whose percentages are too small to be collected in statewide sample.

General information

As women, doesn’t it seem as though we are constantly told what issues are of importance to us? The Center for Women’s Issues (“CWI”) will uncover the truth of the issues at the forefront of women’s minds and provide leaders with the real platform issues for women in Michigan. With issues clearly defined, the work to support, address and advance women’s issues may finally begin. Michigan’s women are individually unique, and so are their life experiences, opinions and beliefs. Media today tends to present women in a 'one size fits all' approach; with the 2016 election cycle fast approaching, many will claim they are speaking for women. This study is designed to allow women to speak for themselves. Why now? Why this study? Decisions on women’s issues and daily lives are made each day without the accurate input of women! This comprehensive, non-suggestive study has never been conducted in Michigan. Many studies offer a list of possible responses for women to choose from. While this approach is efficient and great for researchers it will never provide a more accurate result than an open-ended question that simply asks women to ‘make their voice heard’ – this is what distinguishes the CWI study from all others.
