Empowering Communities for Change

Welcome to my internship overview! During my time at Mano Vuelta, I had the privilege to work on a range of impactful projects that aimed to empower indigenous and Afro-Mexican youth in Oaxacan communities. Through research, analysis, and hands-on facilitation, I contributed to initiatives that promote safe, dignified, and self-managed abortions while also addressing broader issues such as gender violence and resource management. Here's a glimpse of the valuable experiences and accomplishments from my internship:
