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 take us 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.
