COVID-19 Resources & OWC Coverage
As we adapt to respond to the ever-changing circumstances around this crisis, OWC will continue to keep those we serve – women in Oklahoma – at the center of our work. Here you’ll find resources and pertinent information on how COVID-19 is impacting women within our four priority areas: health & wellness, criminal justice reform, violence prevention, and economic security – and what we can do about it together.
As we continue to build a collection of resources and vital information for you, please know we want to hear from you directly on any gaps we can fill during this time. If we are missing something, take the quick, anonymous survey to ensure we are representing your voice and sharing information that is helpful and beneficial for you.
