Bill > SRes144

This resolution recognizes the significant contributions and heritage of Latinas in the United States by highlighting their achievements across numerous fields, including government, military, science, arts, and public service. The resolution notes that approximately 31 million Latinas live in the United States, representing about one in six women, and emphasizes their diverse cultural backgrounds spanning North America, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean. It celebrates Latina achievements such as serving in high-level government positions, breaking barriers in STEM fields, contributing $1.3 billion to the GDP in 2021, leading civil rights movements, excelling in entertainment and sports, and making substantial contributions to medicine, journalism, and other professions. The resolution also acknowledges ongoing challenges, such as wage disparities (with Latinas earning only 58 cents for every dollar earned by white, non-Hispanic men) and societal obstacles. Ultimately, the resolution calls for celebrating Latina successes and recognizing the need for continued progress to ensure Latinas can fully realize their potential as equal members of society, with projections indicating the Latina population will grow to nearly 49 million by 2060.
