Health Access Area

The Health Access Program is responsible for promoting integral health, including sexual and reproductive health, through an intersectional approach to rights that guarantees the autonomy of individuals, especially women, and girls in all their diversity. 

Through our work, we seek to eliminate barriers that impede access to sexual and reproductive health services, generating strategic alliances and strengthening the capacities of health personnel, professional associations, professional networks, and other key actors to guarantee timely, available, acceptable, and adaptable health services that are free of violence and discrimination.

Legal Strategy Area

The Legal Strategy Program seeks to contribute to the respect for the human rights of women, adolescents and girls by outlining different legal aspects for the protection, promotion and defense of their rights, particularly access to health services, comprehensive education, equality, and non-discrimination.

The work focuses on accompanying, and advising women, adolescents, girls, and their families in administrative or judicial processes to protect or demand their rights. This space also seeks to promote advanced discussions, and strategies that break down the barriers that impede access to the rights of women, and girls based on scientific evidence and the use of law as a tool for change, mainly on real access to sexual and reproductive rights, women's autonomy, criminalization of abortion and its impact on women's lives, equality, and non-discrimination, and the principle of secularism of the State in restrictive contexts in the Central American region.

Advocacy Area

The Advocacy Program seeks to advocate and participate in the processes of public policy formulation, legislative changes, and defense of any mechanism or measure related to the protection of the human rights of women, adolescents and girls according to the progressiveness of domestic and international law.

Our work is to generate strategic alliances to strengthen the secular state, raise public awareness, and make visible the realities that Central American women live, all to ensure the effectiveness and access to their rights, including sexual and reproductive rights, comprehensive sexual education, respect for autonomy, and a life free of violence and discrimination. We promote information campaigns and communication strategies on the human rights of women, adolescents, and girls to contribute to the prevention, and eradication of all forms of discrimination, and gender violence, aimed at competent authorities or the general public.
