For the third year in a row, Utah has been named the worst state for women’s equality, and it continues to lag far behind Idaho, the state ranked 49th.
Erin Jemison, the former director of public policy at the YWCA Utah, and Susan Madsen, the founder and director of the Utah Women and Leadership Project at Utah State University, joined reporter Becky Jacobs for a live discussion about why Utah ranks so poorly and what can be done about it.
You can watch the discussion on Facebook or on Youtube. You can also listen on iTunes, Spotify, Stitcher or wherever you get your podcasts. Let us know what you want to learn more about on the next episode by using #TribTalk on Twitter or by emailing tribtalk@sltrib.com.
