As if it wasn't challenging and painful enough to be a low-income, immigrant woman in New York City!
The New York Women's Foundation released a report on March 23rd, that assesses the impact proposed budget cuts in NYC which found that
"low–income women in New York City bear a disproportionate burden in Governor Cuomo’s proposed budget. As such, they are placed at even greater risk of entrenched poverty, physical, emotional and sexual violence, poor health and other factors that contribute to long–term economic stagnation. Many of the proposed budget cuts disproportionately affect single mother heads of households and women holding lower–paying jobs in the public and nonprofit sectors"
