THE ISSUE:
Machismo culture is thriving in much of Cartagena and in certain areas girls are especially prone to sexual tourism or abuse. Young girls may grow up lacking a safe learning environment with positive female role models, seeing or experiencing gender-based violence, and believing that a woman's body is more valuable than her brains.
