Overview of the status of women in the Marshall Islands
Women in the Marshall Islands are women who live in or are from the Republic of the Marshall Islands, an island country that is politically a presidential republic in free association with the United States. Alternative appellations for these women are Marshallese women, Marshall Islander women, Marshalls women, and women in Rālik-Ratak (literally women "facing toward the windward" [i.e. facing sunrise] and "facing toward the leeward" [i.e. facing sunset]).[1]
