Today, we’re presenting the episode 2 of “The Network,” a new series that Latino USA co-produced with NPR’s Embedded podcast. 

The network had developed a method that had the potential to get women widespread access to safe abortions. But to make that happen, a whisper network wasn’t enough. 

Hosts Marta and Victoria travel across Latin America to trace how the network entered a new era. Women spoke up and teamed up. They challenged each other and sometimes even broke the law.
