NEW YORK—New America Media (NAM), an ethnic media coalition, is hosting community meetings each day this week in five cities across the U.S. In the third community meeting on Wednesday, pollster Sergio Bendixen presented NAM’s newly released report on women immigrants, and six panelists discussed the report.

The report, titled Women Immigrants: Stewards of the 21st Century Family, is based on a poll conducted in 2008, in which approximately 1,000 female immigrants from 44 countries were interviewed in ten languages.
