Welcome to Teen Voices Online!
It’s May, and Teen Voices is all over the world. In Australia, teens have fun at barbecues and the beach, but they also face serious issues of diversity and discrimination. Aparna Sindhoor’s dance company bridges oceans and continents, making connections via art. Fatima Langa Gomes brings Brazilian food to Massachusetts—yum! In the Congo, women raped by soldiers have little medical care or support, but women around the world are drawing attention to their cause.
