Affected by an evident “double exclusión” (by age and gender) young women from Latin America and the Caribbean are a very relevant group and count on a great specificity in terms of characteristics and identities. Largely, they have achieved notorious advances on their effective incorporation to relevant domains of the public dynamic (educative and labor insertion for example) but still are affected centrally by serious problems on the private dynamic (subordination relations, domestic violence, etc) and barely participate on social movements, as much in the youthful ones as in those for women, on a frame where the first ones are directed overwhelmingly by men and the second by grown women.
This section of the Portal tries to reflect –in the best possible way- the specificities of this important juvenile sector, providing elements that allow to characterize their identity profiles, their life conditions, their expectations and aspirations and their proposals and specific reclamations. For this, we resort to investigations and studies, as to designed programs, implemented and/or evaluated that incorporate them dynamically. This way, the Portal assumes as one of its central axes, the gender approach, differentiating the dynamic of young men and women of the region, at all levels.
