House Memorial 32 requests the Indian Affairs Department and the Commission on the Status of Women to conduct a comprehensive study on the history and ongoing impacts of forced or coerced sterilization of Indigenous women and other women of color in New Mexico. The study aims to identify known cases of such sterilizations, gather survivor testimonies using trauma-informed methods, assess current reproductive health service accessibility, and recommend educational and policy measures to prevent future violations. The memorial emphasizes the need for culturally sensitive approaches and the involvement of victims and their families in the research process.

Upon completion of the study, the department and commission are tasked with presenting their findings and recommendations to the governor and legislature by December 31, 2027. Proposed actions include establishing a truth and reconciliation commission, creating a Native American-led reproductive justice program, developing a public memorial and educational curriculum, and formally acknowledging the inhumanity of the forced sterilization policy. This initiative positions New Mexico as a leader in addressing this historical injustice and aims to promote healing and awareness within affected communities.
