Stephanie Dziuba-Kaiser (WWU) has successfully concluded her three-month secondment to the University of San Andrés (UdeSA), Buenos Aires. During her stay, Stephanie explored the conditions of civil society participation within the framework of regional organisations with a special emphasis on sexual and reproductive health issues. She met with local practitioners and researchers and attended two regional conferences in Buenos Aires and Montevideo. Moreover, she used the opportunity to discover the political past and present and – at times – the beauty of Argentina.
