Reaching Out to Women's Groups in Mexico

| Jagriti International believes in the
empowerment of women throughout the world and for that reason
has begun the important project of reaching out to our neighboring
women of Mexico. In hopes of expanding our network of women's
organizations, Jagriti has translated most of its information
pamphlets to Spanish. As of February 2003, Jagriti sent out
registration packets to 42 Mexican women's organizations throughout
the Mexican Republic that concentrate on issues ranging from
domestic violence to native women's rights. Currently, the organization
is working on translating its web page into Spanish so that
Mexican women's organizations may learn more about Jagriti.
Also, as part of it's outreach efforts Jagriti International is
looking for Latina women organizations in the United States
as possible partners. Although we are in the beginning stages
of reaching out to Mexico, Jagriti International is enthusiastic
about this project and has many high hopes for the future. If
you are interested in working with us please contact us at info@jagriti-international.org.
