Abstract: In order for New Mexico’s women and families to be self-sufficient and lead healthy, empowered lives, lawmakers must work to advance economic security by prioritizing policies that will ensure economic equality and reproductive health care access for all. Women need policies that reflect their roles as providers and caregivers. In New Mexico, mothers are the sole, primary, or co-breadwinners in 62.6 percent of families,1 and these numbers are higher for some women of color. The following policy recommendations can help support the economic security of women and families in New Mexico.
