Dear All:

During this period, different actions were carried out with girls, boys and young people on issues of sexual and reproductive health and menstruation:

At the community of Chichihuistán, Teopisca, Chiapas, the training cycle was implemented with students from 1st to 3rd. from high school. The cycle consists of three workshops aimed at young people, separating women and men, facilitating them simultaneously, this to generate an environment of trust and allow them to openly express their doubts and concerns. The women's group is facilitated by Teresa Moshan (Tsotsil speaker) with the support of a German volunteer Julia Maucher with topics such as: I know my body, menstruation part 1 and 2 lasting one day each; In the men's group, facilitated by Mariano De la Torre (Tsotsil speaker) and Marisol Vega, the subtopic of “adolescence” was addressed with a duration of two days.

A total of 6 workshops were facilitated at the rural telesecundaria school 1510 “Miguel Álvarez del Toro” with a total attendance of 23 participants: 65.2% were women; and 34.8%, men.

We continue in the same community of Chichihuistán with the training cycle adapted for girls and boys from 3rd to 6th grade of primary school, with the topic of sexual health and menstruation, with the participation of a total of 20 boys and girls, the girls through the training, make ecological feminine towels.

Sexual and reproductive health workshops were also held with the subtopic “menstruation”: with teachers and parent committees. from the Ignacio Allende Y Unzaga Primary School in the community of Bachen. There were 6 male participants, including teachers and parents, in attendance. All participants stated that the workshop was very useful to them.

 This type of training cycles will continue in the different rural schools of communities with which we work in the Altos de Chiapas area, Mexico.

 Thank you for supporting our work, with these actions we help girls and young people avoid dropping out of school.

  Greetings
