Global Fund Learns First Hand About the Women's Movement in Colombia and Ecuador

 January 2008

 

 

 

In January 2008, Erika Guevara Rosas, Global Fund Program Officer for the Americas, spent two weeks with Global Fund grantees in Colombia and Ecuador.

 In Colombia, Erika visited the cities of Cartagena and the capital Bogota, and the communities of Turbaco and El Pozon in Bolivar. In Ecuador, Erika visited the capital city of Quito and spent time with an indigenous community in Otavalo, Imbabura.

This outreach trip enabled the Global Fund to learn firsthand about major political and socio-economic trends affecting women in both countries, which will help us identify concrete strategies for effectively supporting the women's movement in Colombia and Ecuador.
