Women's Status in Milpitas

The City of Milpitas's new Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Violence Against Women (CEDAW) Task Force is seeking input from Milpitas residents who identify as women or girls to ensure gender equity. We seek to reduce economic and workplace discrimination; health care inequities; and violence against women and girls in Milpitas. Your feedback will help us identify policies and services needed for the women and girls of Milpitas. There are just eight required questions. The remainder of the demographic questions at the end are optional, but your response allows us to better target services. Your responses are confidential and will not be shared. At the end of the survey, you will have an option to continue to a second page to request City staff contact you.
