The documentary aims to not only raise awareness about global poverty facing women and girls, but also present practical solutions that address these problems. Longoria’s portion of the series is about poverty and teen pregnancy in Colombia, and features the actress and Kristof visiting the [Juan Felipe Gomez Escobar](http://www.cnn.com/2012/08/16/world/americas/cnnheroes-catalina-escobar/index.html) foundation, run by Catalina Escobar, which provides education, counseling and job training for teenage mothers. “I’m of the ideology that if you help a woman, she helps her family, and if she changes her family then you start to change communities,” Longoria says. “I always believe the key to breaking the cycle of poverty lies within the women of any community.” Longoria, who runs an organization for special needs children and an organization to help Latinas break into STEM fields (called [Eva’s Heroes](http://www.evasheroes.org/) and the [Eva Longoria Foundation](http://www.evalongoriafoundation.org/our-work), respectively) says she is grateful to be able to use her fame to give others a voice. “If a celebrity wants to lend their name and share their spotlight so that these people who don’t have a voice can be heard, I recommend it and I commend it,” she says, noting that the world’s fixation on pop culture often obscures the stories of the neediest. “Unfortunately, these stories are put to the bottom of the news cycle, because they’re not sexy and they’re not glamorous.” Longoria also said she was shocked at some of the problems the documentary uncovered inside the United States, especially when it comes to sex trafficking. “A lot of times we think, ‘oh that happens in Africa, oh that happens in China, that doesn’t happen in America,'” she says. “How could that be the United States of America?” The third installation of _A Path Appears_ airs on PBS on Feb 9th. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3694446/eva-longoria-a-path-appears-nicholas-kristof/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3694446/eva-longoria-a-path-appears-nicholas-kristof/"},"headline":"Eva Longoria: Helping Women Changes Communities for the Better","datePublished":"2015-02-04T18:06:06.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T08:56:41.415Z","description":"The activist and actress teamed up with Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn to shed light on teen pregnancy, sex trafficking and other problems facing women","url":"https://time.com/3694446/eva-longoria-a-path-appears-nicholas-kristof/","keywords":["Living","pbs","teen pregnancy","poverty","activism","Prostitution","domestic violence","Jennifer garner","sex trafficking","Blake Lively"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blte877d8409bd522a2/69877d7fa988caa7626ac45e/path_appears-02-press.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Charlotte Alter","jobTitle":"Senior Correspondent","url":"https://time.com/author/charlotte-alter/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blte877d8409bd522a2/69877d7fa988caa7626ac45e/path_appears-02-press.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"path_appears-02-press","caption":"From PBS's 'A Path Appears'","creditText":"Ruth Prieto","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-living/","name":"Living"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3694446/eva-longoria-a-path-appears-nicholas-kristof/","name":"Eva Longoria: Helping Women Changes Communities for the Better"}}]}] ```
