Racial & Ethnic Inequality

The work of IWPR consistently resolved how intersections between ethnic groups, ethnic groups, and classes affect women's outcomes.

The IWPR project at Hurricane Katrina and the Gulf Coast, immigration control and status of the southern women include qualitative and quantitative research by putting the experience of colored women in the center of analysis. IWPR's interactive website statusofwomendata.org provides comprehensive data on the most accessible American color women.
