Workshop Series
The WINGS Advocacy Program performs a series of workshops for young women who are leaders in their communities to promote the implementation of advocacy campaigns at a local level. During 2009, the Advocacy Program participated in the training of female community leaders in four departments of Guatemala - Sololá, Quetzaltenango, Coban and Quiché - to plan and implement advocacy campaigns at local levels to improve the quality of reproductive health services that indigenous women receive in their departments.
These trainings were very successful because they helped local governments to better assess the needs of their communities and also brought media to the need for improved access to reproductive health education and family planning services in Guatemala.
