Abstract

The radio program "Voces y Regiones" features an interview with Marguil Kelly Rodríguez, a youth leader from La Guajira, Colombia. The conversation focuses on key issues related to women's participation in political and social life, as well as youth leadership in the region. Rodríguez highlights the increasing involvement of women in politics, the overcoming of fear to engage in spaces historically dominated by men, and the challenges faced by young people in the region, such as lack of opportunities, corruption, and forced recruitment. She also mentions the importance of youth movements and new political initiatives that promote women's inclusion. The interview underscores the need to open participation spaces for young people and women, as well as the urgency of addressing issues such as teenage pregnancy and the political exclusion of youth.
