Abstract

The Utah Women & Leadership Project has started a new series of Utah Women Stats research snapshots with the goal of providing specific, timely data on a series of issues relevant to Utah women. In November of 2016, we released the following two: Poverty Among Utah Women and Sexual Assault Among Utah Women. The following article has been adapted from these reports and we, as authors, hope it is useful for those interested in learning more about the status of women in Utah—both LDS and non-LDS. While Mormon women in Utah are not singled out specifically in these reports, we believe that the data here are valuable to the SquareTwo audience as they give a sense of what Utah women (many of whom are LDS) are facing in terms of these serious issues.

The original snapshots, along with other briefs and snapshots can be found on the Project’s website: http://www.uvu.edu/uwlp/ . We begin by sharing data on poverty among Utah women and then will share data on sexual assault among Utah women. We will then share a few thoughts in conclusion.
