Derechos Hoy – action medeor’s Social Development Program with Partner Organizations (ASECSA, ASOGEN, PIES de Occidente)

action medeor e.V. is a German nonprofit organization that works internationally with local partner organizations to strengthen health systems and other areas that directly or indirectly impact public health. It also implements humanitarian aid projects that provide urgent support to populations living in crisis situations. In Guatemala, action medeor has maintained close collaboration with its partners ASECSA, ASOGEN, and PIES de Occidente for nearly three decades, with the aim of addressing the needs of vulnerable and historically marginalized population groups. In recent years, its work in the country has focused particularly on projects related to the prevention of violence against women and the promotion of sexual and reproductive rights (SRHR).

 The “Derechos Hoy” program aims to transform the lives of thousands of girls and adolescents in Guatemala through a comprehensive approach that addresses rights, resources, representation, and advocacy. Inter-institutional cooperation and political commitment are essential to ensuring an effective and sustainable response to teenage pregnancy and gender-based violence.
