When Governor Lamont took office in January 2019, one of his first actions was to form the Governor's Council on Women and Girls.
The Governor's Council on Women and Girls takes to heart the responsibility it has to the future of the State of Connecticut. Its goal is to tackle issues that impact the lives of women, girls, and their families.
— Governor Lamont
There has been progress in the number of women in STEM and manufacturing fields. But a majority of those jobs continue to be held by males. In states across the country, leaders work hard to ensure equal access to resources. We are dedicated to give women and girls the opportunities they deserve.
