Oklahoma Commission on the Status of Women Website

The Mission of the Oklahoma Commission on the Status of Women  is “to improve the quality of life for women and families in Oklahoma.”

The Commission works closely with the Oklahoma Legislative, Executive and Judicial branches (OLEJ) to:

* Educate OLEJ branches on the importance of supporting programs to improve the quality of life for women and families in Oklahoma;

* Request Interim Studies to research possible legislative action, build consensus and public support on issues;

* Formulate, support and/or endorse certain legislation which would benefit women and families;

* Receive adequate funding from the State to support the work of the Commission;

* Ensure inappropriate gender bias is not written into the laws of Oklahoma and when there are revisions to existing law, any gender bias is eliminated;

* Ensure issues of inequality do not impede individuals from reaching their full potential.
