Luisana: Embracing Change and Empowering Others

A Venezuelan migrant living in Lima, Peru, for the past seven years, 17-year-old Luisana has navigated the challenges of leaving behind her home, friends, and the warm, family-oriented culture of Venezuela to build a new life in a more reserved Peruvian society. “I had my life there, my friends, my family,” she recalls. “Coming here to meet my new family, make new friends, and integrate again at school was quite difficult, mainly because of the social aspect.” Through Plan International’s ELLA project, Luisana found a way to grow and give something back. Designed to support adolescent girls and young women, particularly Venezuelan migrants and members of host communities in Lima, the project has equipped Luisana with vital knowledge about sexual and reproductive rights, as well as fundamental human rights. “The ELLA project means a lot to me in terms of personal growth,” says Luisana. “Through all these workshops, all this information I’ve acquired, I’ve become a better person.”
