Last week we shared details about this important event, and we’re sending one more reminder because this conversation truly matters.

      The Status of Women and Girls in South Carolina

                April 8, 2026
              4:00 PM – 6:45 PM

   North Myrtle Beach Public Library
  910 First Ave. S, North Myrtle Beach

The Women's Rights & Empowerment Network (WREN) has taken a deep, data-driven look at the realities facing women and families in our state—right here in Horry County.

What you’ll learn:

• The real challenges women and families are facing

• What’s working—and what’s not

• How you can speak with confidence using real facts

• Ways to get involved and make a difference

Just a few eye-opening facts:

• A minimum wage worker must work 91 hours/week to afford a 1-bedroom apartment

• 28.5% of infants in Horry County lack adequate prenatal care

• Childcare costs consume 30% of family income

• 74% of children qualify for free lunch

As Ruth Bader Ginsburg said:
“Fight for the things that you care about, but do it in a way that will lead others to join you.”

This is that opportunity.
