The New Mexico Women’s Justice Project, Inc. (NMWJP), located in Albuquerque, is a non-profit organization that seeks to eliminate a broad range of systemic barriers to social, economic and political justice faced by women, girls and their families in NM.

The NMWJP focuses on women and girls whose lives are affected by the criminal justice, delinquency and child welfare systems. The Project is dedicated to improving the lives of women and children who have been affected by poverty, addiction, mental illness, and the trauma of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse by providing research, policy development, education, and direct action for change that enhances lives while maintaining families and protecting our communities.

The Project is headed by a Board of Directors, composed of local attorneys, a retired pediatrician, a psychotherapist, a founding Executive Director of a program serving women with dual diagnosis’s transition from jail to the community, Executive Director of the Rape Crisis Center and social workers, among other dedicated individuals.
