Latin America

The world’s most unequal continent is still, today, looking for justice. Latin America and the Caribbean are dominated by their northern neighbour, the United States. Economic and political relations have made the US richer, rather than bringing justice and prosperity south. However, what marks the region is the enormous vibrancy of its social movements, many of which we support.
