Along with the statements divulgation, they will also reunite forces with their allies and they will generate a debate program that intends to uncover Siempre<\/strong>\u00b4s challenges and structural goals.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe work as a unified network, using our voices to make ourselves visible as migrants and as bearers of bio-aesthetic and cultural diversity. We weave a collective fabric of alliances with sisters from diverse backgrounds to provide a platform for their knowledge and empower their participation\u201d quotes the document.<\/p>\n

In one of the fragments spread through the official Facebook account Siempre Vzw Ngo<\/strong>, they assure to have tasked themselves \u201cwith making Latina\u2019s women visible, considering their different origins, cultural contexts, and labor, as well as both their formal and informal education and with recognizing their ethnic and cultural diversity\u201d.<\/p>\n

Born in May 2017, the NGO operates with its own financial resources, works with associations of several European countries, and gains strength from the ancestral struggle of aboriginal women in Central and South America.<\/p>\n

Its name is the acronym of the mainworking areas: Science, Integrity, Empowerment, Mobility, Renewable & Educational Projects.<\/p>\n

Founded by two Mexicans, Dr. Ana Valenzuela, scientist, researcher and author; and Tamara Cruz, artist, artisan, and politician of Groen<\/strong>; Siempre<\/strong>rises as a platform to denounce the problems of migrant women.<\/p>\n

The foundation directs its emphasize towards contemporary phenomena affecting Latina women, such as gender violence, accessibility to the job market, migration and family reunification.<\/p>\n
