GPA believes young people are powerful agents for improving the health and well-being of their communities. In 2016, we worked with approximately 400 students at four schools in the Highland region of Chiapas, Mexico. In this area, made up of Tzeltal and Tzotzil-speaking indigenous communities, the maternal mortality rate reaches up to four times the national average due to factors such as poverty, discrimination, inadequate healthcare access, gender inequality, violence and early marriage. Through an interactive, dynamic curriculum, students reflected on gender roles, life goals, sexual and reproductive health, and how to have healthy relationships free of violence.
