Political innovation laboratory

This laboratory promotes strategies to address the challenges and barriers that Black/African-descendant women experience, in all our diversity, to access and participate in politics in Latin America and the Caribbean. In a cross-cutting manner, we promote the formation of a collective fabric of Black Afro-Latin American, Caribbean and Diaspora women for political innovation.
