Women's
Voices has taken on several "Hard Issues:" The
Local Refugee Situation: Asian, Iraqi, and African. Families arrive in
Albuquerque and often have to wait a long time for their green or social security
cards. They have great needs for mentoring to help them solve challenging problems.
We are also looking into Human Trafficking.
Maria Sanchez Graina of the Attorney Generals' Office alerted us to the exploitation
of adults and children being brought across the New Mexico-Mexican border. We
are hoping to extend our outreach to these desperate groups. If you wish to volunteer,
please let us know by return e-mail.

lives, | To
provide forums for women of ideas, talent and creativity, To
act as a library for articles, books, and research papers on pertinent issues, | To
act as a resource,
sustaining women in
emotional or financially
supportive ways. |
