Advocacy Program
The aim of the WINGS Advocacy Program is to advocate for the implementation of the Law on Universal and Equitable Access to Family Planning Services (Decree 87-2005) to ensure that the Guatemalan people receive adequate sexual and reproductive health education and family planning services.
The objectives of the Advocacy Program are:
1. To educate and empower Guatemalans about their sexual and reproductive rights.
2. To conduct and participate in advocacy activities that target the government of Guatemala to ensure compliance with its obligations regarding reproductive and sexual health.
3. To train both health providers and teachers in reproductive health and sex education so they may address these issues appropriately.
The WINGS Advocacy Program has already established a track record of success including active participation in a National Campaign for Sexuality Education in partnership with Incide Joven and other organizations.
In conjunction with participation in the campaign, WINGS has taken other actions through the media, including airing radio spots and distributing posters and leaflets throughout Guatemala to promote sex education.
