Episode 8: Strengthening Families in Nicaragua

This episode features the story of Rosa, a woman from Nicaragua. Having been raised without positive male influences, Rosa has looked to church teachings to form her ideal masculinity based on the Proclamation to the World. MA student Amy Elkins discusses with Amanda Tew, a temporary resident of Niagara, how global LDS women often approach the Proclamation differently to American women. Rather than viewing the principles outlined as restrictive for women, Rosa demonstrates how it can be used to encourage men to live up to their responsibilities.
