It all begins with reproductive rights.
WINGS Guatemala provides quality reproductive health education and services to underserved, primarily rural Guatemalan youth, women, and men. WINGS envisions a future where all Guatemalans thrive and are able to fully exercise their sexual and reproductive rights. We take a holistic approach to reproductive health that recognizes the diverse barriers to exercising rights and engages community members to secure reproductive rights and bring their voices to the forefront of the decision-making process.
