Over the coming year, we plan to bring the research findings back to the participating communities and beyond. We also hope to share them with other funders as well as policymakers.
Join us at the New Mexico Voices for Children Annual Kids Count Conference on June 26th where we will be presenting the research findings along with community partners. We’ll also present the findings at the Women’s Funding Network international conference in San Francisco this fall.
A final take away from our Five Days of Gender Justice: To focus on gender justice is to acknowledge that race, class, history, immigration status, sexual identity and the environment have enormous and inextricable effects on health outcomes and quality of life for women and girls across the state. We believe that this is the heart of gender justice in New Mexico.
