WalletHub recently conducted a study ranking U.S. states based on women’s economic and social well-being, alongside their safety and healthcare. The findings highlighted a notable trend: “red” or Republican-leaning states tended to rank lower on the list, indicating potential challenges these states face in ensuring the well-being and safety of women.

This comprehensive analysis sheds light on the disparities women experience across different regions, emphasizing the need for targeted improvements in policy and support.

10. Missouri

Missouri is in the Midwest and doesn’t do well in taking care of women’s money matters or their health and safety. It’s 42nd in how well women live and work and 39th in health and safety for women. A report says Missouri is one of the most dangerous states for women, with many facing violence from a partner or stalking. About 42 out of 100 women in Missouri have faced this, while about 35 out of 100 men have too.

9. Georgia
