Grupo Interdisciplinario sobre Mujer, Trabajo y Pobreza

Grupo Interdisciplinario sobre Mujer, Trabajo y Pobreza (GIMTRAP), a Mexican action research organization, will convene stakeholders in indigenous youth reproductive and sexual health issues to assess how the field has advanced over the past ten years, and how it may best advance in the coming five. State-level meetings in Chiapas, Guerrero and Oaxaca, and two seminars will be organized on the topic in order to generate policy recommendations. The project also includes a study on teen parenthood among indigenous youth that will be conducted by professional indigenous researchers.

With a two-year, $140,000 grant, Grupo de Investigación de la Mujer, Trabajo y Pobreza will organize public forums for state agencies, civil society organizations, academics, and grassroots activists to generate comprehensive, coordinated public policy proposals for improving reproductive and sexual health among indigenous youth in Mexico.
