International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples

The work of Indigenous Justice Circle is informed by our 25 years of developing, implementing and evaluating high impact population-level investment plans for Indigenous girls and women around the world. In this video, Dr. Kelly Hallman spoke with the Population Council about her experience helping establish  Abriendo Oportunidades (AO), a culture-, age- and gender-specific program that invests in Mayan girls' leadership, health, and well-being in Guatemala. Girls who participated in AO 20 years ago are now top women leaders in Guatemala's government and civil society!
