Southwest Women’s Law Center is dedicated to fighting for policies that ensure economic security for New Mexico women and families.
Unfortunately, too many women live paycheck-to-paycheck, facing poverty and unstable working conditions. We know that some simple protections could lift women out of poverty and enable them to create economically stable households for themselves and their families. Currently, Southwest Women’s Law Center is working on two legislative initiatives to promote economic security: Paid Family and Medical Leave Act and the Pregnant Worker Accommodation Act.
