Because:

• New Mexico has the 3rd highest rate of women living in poverty in the U.S.
• One in three New Mexican women will experience domestic violence in their lifetimes
• A quarter of New Mexican women will experience sexual assault
• New Mexico has the 2nd highest teen pregnancy rate in the country
• New Mexico and Texas are tied for the highest rate of uninsured women in the U.S.

Because we believe we can change these facts.

Our vision is to harness the power of law, research, and creative collaborations to change these realities and to create greater opportunities for women and girls in New Mexico to fulfill their personal and economic potential.
