action postponed indefinitely
Summary
The resolution asks New Mexico's Indian Affairs Department and the Commission on the Status of Women to conduct a comprehensive study of past forced or coerced sterilizations of Indigenous women and other women of color. It calls for gathering survivor testimony, assessing current reproductive health services, and delivering findings with recommendations by Dec. 31, 2027. The goal is to inform possible truth‑and‑reconciliation efforts, a reproductive‑justice program, a public memorial, and an official state acknowledgment of the policy’s inhumanity.
