What happens when a government suppresses its people?

In this episode of Credo Voices, we spotlight Terán Romero — a clinical psychologist, Vital Voices Fellow, and human rights activist from Puno, Peru.As President of Collectivo Kuska, she is fighting for the mental health, dignity, and rights of Peru’s Indigenous communities—many of whom continue to face political repression, systemic violence, and media erasure.

Through grassroots advocacy, trauma-informed mental health support, and independent storytelling, Joanna and her team ensure that the marginalized's voices are heard. With her work advancing #SDG16: Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions, # SDG10: Reduced Inequalities, and #SDG3: Good Health and Well-Being, Joanna’s story reminds us of the power of community, courage, and compassion in driving change.
