SYMPOSIUM: THEORY AND PRAXIS IN REDUCING WOMEN'S POVERTY
2012
Overview
In 2010, 46.2 million Americans were living below the official poverty line, the highest number in the fifty-two years in which the Census Bureau has gathered figures.1 Additionally, the poverty rate among women rose to 14.5%, the highest rate in seventeen years.2 This means that more than 17 million women were living in poverty, compared with 12.6 million men.3 The \"extreme poverty rate\"4 among women was the highest ever recorded at 6.3%; and women are poorer than men in all racial and ethnic groups.5 Black and Latina women face particularly high rates of poverty: over 25% of black women and 25% of Latina women are poor.6 Every one of these women, and the families and communities to which they are connected, interact with legal systems on a daily basis, often to their own detriment.
