Dear friends,  

I hope you are well. I’d like to take this opportunity to share with you the “Jóvenas Latidas campaign, created and implemented by young women leaders in Latin America to make visible the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the rights of girls, adolescents and young women in the region.

For several months, they have created spaces to think, feel, share their experiences and transform the world we all live in. In their various materials, you can hear and read about the challenges they’re facing in their own words, along with their proposed solutions.

Now I’d like to invite you to follow and join the conversation! You can do this in the following ways:

• Check out and follow the campaign on their Facebook and Instagram pages.
• Listen to podcasts on the experiences of girls, adolescents, and young women in Latin America and the Caribbean.
• Read blogs (in English and Spanish) by young activists in Guatemala, Honduras and Mexico on the Girls Not Brides website:

1. ​​Silenced realities: Child, early and forced marriage and unions in Latin America
2. Advice from a young woman on listening to young women during the COVID-19 pandemic
3. Youth-focused reflections on the rights of girls and adolescents during COVID-19
4. We are no longer alone (upcoming)

•  Send a message you’d like published as part of the campaign

Best wishes,

Elvira
