Mercedes was offered the possibility of entering secondary school through Dianova Nicaragua. And this has changed her life.

On March 12^th, she came to New York to share her life experience during a side event – ¨Education, Gender and Maternal Health: Social and Public Goods¨ – organized by Dianova and other partner organizations in the margins of the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women. She was able to give her speech in the English language.
