I volunteered at an after school program in Nicaragua doing translation and homework help, and once girls were like 13, 14 they were seriously at risk of dropping out and moving in with their “boyfriends” who were always grown adults 🙄 it was very soul crushing. One mom was very ill and almost died, turned out she had an STI that could be easily cured with antibiotics, but didn’t want people to find out she had been sexually active. The religious beliefs plus no access to abortion means men pray on girls and actual adult women live in Shame. And that’s what some people want in our country, too.
