Recognizing the heritage, culture, and contributions of Latinas in the United States.

Sponsored By: Representative Correa, J. Luis [D-CA-46]

Introduced

Summary

Recognizes the heritage, culture, and contributions of Latinas and designates National Women’s History Month to honor their achievements. It notes about 31 million Latinas live in the United States and roughly one in six U.S. women is Latina. It highlights roles across business, STEM, medicine, the arts, public service, and the military, noting 45,710 Latinas serve in the Armed Forces. It records milestones such as the first Latina in space in 1993 and the first female and Hispanic Surgeon General in 1990. It points out pay gaps where Latinas earn 58 cents for every dollar paid to White, non-Hispanic men and that a Latina with a professional degree could lose over $2.9 million across a 40-year career. The resolution emphasizes ongoing disparities faced by Latinas, calls for continued investment to address those barriers, and projects about 48.8 million Latinas in the U.S. by 2060.
