The mission of the Utah Women & Leadership Project is to strengthen the impact of Utah girls and women. We serve Utah and its residents by 1) producing relevant, trustworthy, and applicable research; 2) creating and gathering valuable resources; and 3) convening trainings and events that inform, inspire, and ignite growth and change for all Utahns.
A recently released 2024 report by UWLP examines unpaid care work in Utah in an effort to recognize its value and encourage a more balanced distribution of unpaid care between men and women.
Utah's sex-based discrimination (which includes sexual harassment) make up a larger share of the complaints filed with the U.S. EEOC. Only three states have higher complaints than Utah.
A 2024 report was recently released by UWLP to update its 2020 research on women leaders working in Utah's public sector. Similar upcoming research will measure county and municipal levels.
The UWLP hosts, offers, partners, and collaborates on programs, seminars, lectures, workshops, and think tanks aligned with efforts to move mountains for Utah girls and women. View all upcoming events.
The UWLP started offering and co-hosting gatherings and events in 2014 and began capturing the “Utah Women’s Leadership Speaker & Dialogue Series” on video in 2015. We keep the past event information online as a resource for those looking for topics and speakers for future events. If you are interested in partnering on future events, contact us at uwlp@usu.edu.
This calendar lists all events in the state of Utah focused on girls and women, whether the event is for them specifically or if it is designed for influencers about how to better support and advance girls and women. To obtain this information, student interns or assistants visit all of the websites of the women’s networks, groups, and associations across the state of Utah each month. If you have an event that you would like listed, email uwlp@usu.edu.
