Voices of Power

Giving voice to historically silenced and/or underrepresented communities

What is it?

Together with UNICEF, we implemented the second phase of an initiative aimed at designing, consolidating and scaling up youth projects focused on reconciliation, advocacy and participation. This process was carried out through the incorporation of new narratives and acquired skills, with a focus on violence prevention in Cali, Quibdó and Buenaventura. Together with allies such as UNFPA and the ILO, we accompanied 1,800 young people in the development of 90 initiatives, facilitating the design and construction of their scalability and replicability plans.
