We go behind the scenes with “The Network” hosts Victoria Estrada and Marta Martinez. In conversation with Maria Hinojosa, they share anecdotes and reflections on their reporting in Latin America for the 3-episode series produced in collaboration with NPR’s Embedded podcast. From what sparked their interest in telling this story to the challenges of trying to reconstruct something that happened 40 years ago.

I love your series on misoprostol. I worked with Ipas for many years from Mexico and helped to document the accompaniment movement, launched by Las Libres.

Este video documenta el exitoso modelo de la red de acompañamiento, el cual fue creado por la ONG Mexicana Las Libres para apoyar a las mujeres en el restringido estado de Guanajuato, a lo largo del proceso de aborto con medicamentos. Las mujeres relatan sus propias historias de cómo el acompañamiento las ayudó a obtener acceso y apoyo para el aborto con medicamentos y por qué la red es de importancia fundamental para la salud y la vida reproductiva de las mujeres.
We then updated a documentary we made in 2023. https://majocalderon.com/las-acompanantes
I hope this is useful to ongoing reporting.
