In 2014, the Atlantic County Advisory Commission on Women (ACACW) requested the assistance of Stockton University faculty and students in developing a report on the status of women and girls in Atlantic County. This report, which follows the excellent guidelines provided by the Institute for Women’s Policy Research (IWPR) in Washington, DC, is the outcome.
