Follow Justice For Migrant WomenJustice for Migrant Women (J4MW) is advancing the human and civil rights of migrant women and their families. The founder and president of J4MW is Mónica Ramírez, a trailblazing Latina leader reshaping social justice in the workplace and beyond. She fiercely combats workplace sexual violence, supports low-paid workers and immigrants, and fights for the recognition of these often overlooked individuals deserve. She launched the first U.S. legal initiative to tackle gender discrimination against farmworker women, which she scaled into the Esperanza Project at the Southern Poverty Law Center. This work was foundational to creating Justice for Migrant Women as a stand-alone non-profit organization. Today, Justice for Migrant Women focuses on economic justice and security; ending gender-based violence; promoting leadership and power building among migrant and rural women; and changing the narrative about migrant women, Latine people, and rural communities.
