OUR STORY: The Emergence of Latinas en Poder
OUR STORY: The Emergence of Latinas en Poder
Latinas en Poder was born out of our collective concerns for the devastating realities faced by Latina immigrant women during the COVID-19 pandemic. Increasing deaths, poverty, and violence against women and girls were central to the conversations we held with Latinas across the United States. From these dialogues, it became clear that we needed to act. We initiated a process to engage and organize Latina organizations in the U.S., creating spaces for collaboration, reflection, and resistance.
A Redefined Strategic Vision Towards Transnationalism
During former Vice President Kamala Harris's visit to Guatemala in 2021, we decided to establish a permanent dialogue and take action on the root causes of migration with sister organizations in our countries of origin.
(To learn more about this process, please review the Transnational Summit Declaration under the Programs and Vehicles section).
