Our Commitment to Women in the Americas
Latinas en Poder arises from participation in the education campaign to promote the Latino vote during the 2020 elections in the United States and the COVID-19 pandemic.
We dialogue with women and young women about the problems and difficulties faced in the workplace, the structural violence, domestic and intimate partner violence, the violence faced throughout the migratory process, and in the context of climate change, their needs, and their priorities for self and social transformation. Our journey resulted from these conversations, and our commitment is to support women leaders, organizers, and human rights defenders.
