About the Status of Women in Montana Report: The Montana Budget and Policy Center (MBPC) produced The Status of Women in Montana; Advancing Policy for Economic Equity in the spring of 2024. The report provides a thorough analysis of the current state of women in Montana, including economic opportunity, health and well-being, and political participation. The report also outlines opportunities present for Montanans to improve the status of women and advance gender equity.  

The Women’s Foundation of Montana is proud to support Montana Budget and Policy Center in this work and proud to support the 2026 update of this report.

Partners like MBPC play a pivotal role in advancing gender equity. Current and relevant data allows us all to clearly identify trends and issues, as well as challenges and barriers that hinder our progress toward economic equity. The Status of Women in Montana; Advancing Policy for Economic Equity serves as a foundational resource to empower communities across our state with the tools they need to tell their stories and focus their efforts in advocating for change.
