RESEARCH
NewMexicoWomen.Org’s ongoing research seeks to draw critical attention to the issues impacting women, girls, and gender non-conforming people to influence policy and philanthropy, as well as support community organizations with research and data relevant to their work. Our research is both quantitative and qualitative and seeks to use intersectional feminist and community-centered methodologies. Our recent research includes: The Landscape of Gender Justice in New Mexico: 2025 Status Report, Gender Justice at the Heart of New Mexico’s Pandemic Recovery, and The Heart of Gender Justice in New Mexico: Intersectionality, Economic Security, and Health Equity.
THE LANDSCAPE OF GENDER JUSTICE IN NEW MEXICO: 2025 Status Report
Para la versión en español del informe, ver más abajo.
Created in collaboration with the Center for Social Policy at the University of New Mexico, The Landscape of Gender Justice in New Mexico: 2025 Status Report outlines key statistical trends related to the status of women, girls, and LGBTQ+ New Mexicans. The report, as well as its companion, 2025 Summary of Data, assess where New Mexico has made strides toward achieving gender justice while also identifying key gaps and challenges. It provides data for advocates, organizers, policymakers, philanthropic leaders, as well as the public, and offers strategic policy recommendations. Using both community voices and data, this report contains key demographic information, as well as gender disaggregated data related to these core areas: economic justice, safety, health equity, environmental and climate justice, political participation, and education. This report is designed to guide long-term, community-rooted investment in wellbeing, safety, and opportunity for all.
Gender Justice at the Heart of New Mexico’s Pandemic Recovery
Para la versión en español del informe, ver más abajo.
Why does the COVID-19 pandemic need a gender justice response and recovery plan, and what does that currently look like across New Mexico? Our 2020 report, Gender Justice at the Heart of New Mexico’s Pandemic Recovery, answers this question as it outlines a gender justice response to the pandemic and key recommendations for recovery. The report is informed by over 30 grantee and community partners around the state, our previous research, and recent findings from across the country.
The Heart of Gender Justice: Intersectionality, Economic Security, and Health Equity
In 2017, NewMexicoWomen.Org published, The Heart of Gender Justice in New Mexico: Intersectionality, Economic Security, and Health Equity in collaboration with a multi-disciplinary research team of social policy scholars of color from the University of New Mexico. The team was led by Lisa Cacari Stone, PhD, in collaboration with Claudia Diaz Fuentes, PhD, Nancy Lopez, PhD, and NMW.O’s staff.
The two-part series includes a qualitative report from community dialogues and a quantitative analysis on the link between economic security and women’s health status by race and ethnicity. The project identifies priority areas and centers the stories of self-identified New Mexican women and their lived experiences around health equity and economic security. Using both community voices and data, the reports seek to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the intersectional nature of women’s lives in New Mexico.
Indicators Report: A Statistical Resource Guide to Women and Girls in New Mexico
In 2014, NewMexicoWomen.Org (NMW.O) published the Indicators Report: A Statistic Resource Guide to Women and Girls in New Mexico, which contains an overview of the quality of life indicators for women and girls in New Mexico. The research was published in response to the need for current demographic and statistical information about New Mexico’s women and girls. A statistical overview offers a baseline from which we can understand the connections between issues that impact women and girls. From this vantage point, communities, organizations, donors, and policymakers across the state can better identify and prioritize the needs of New Mexican women and girls.
For communities, it can help substantiate a call to action. For policymakers, donors and other funders, the report offers a snapshot of New Mexico to guide legislative and funding decisions. For other allies it serves as an educational tool.
