Hence the raison d'être of this platform, is about promoting processes of participation and empowerment of vulnerable groups to diversify voices in the projection of transformative actions in local contexts. Population groups marginalized due to aspects of race, gender, sexual choice, among others, may take advantage of the changes they propose for an improvement in the institutional design and public policies of the country. |
