The mission of the Mississippi Commission on the Status of Women is to assess and influence policies and practices that affect women through an inclusive, collaborative process. The Commission serves by administering and supporting; collecting and disseminating information; and recommending policies to public and private groups and persons.
The Commission is dedicated to the improvement of the overall quality of life of women, specifically in the areas of education, health, economics, political participation, and race relations.
The Mississippi Commission on the Status of Women was created in 2001 by the Mississippi Legislature, as codified in Miss. Code Ann. Section 43-59-1 et seq.
