Malvina's Story: Giving A Voice to the Most Vulnerable
Channel: CMMB - Healthier Lives Worldwide
Date: 06/03/2017

Around the world today, girls and women still face the biggest burdens of discrimination and poverty.  In the indigenous highland region of Peru, the voices of women like Malvina are rarely heard. She has been a victim of displacement, human trafficking, child labor, early marriage and domestic abuse. 

Stories like Malvina’s are a testimony to the lack of opportunity, resources, and the overwhelming discrimination that poor mothers face worldwide. Malvina has never given up hope that life can be better. By working together, we can give poor girls and women a voice, respectfully listen to their needs, and empower them with tools to advocate for themselves and their families.
