📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Argentina faces long
-
standing human rights problems that include endemic violence
against women. Despite a 2009 law setting forth comprehensive measures to prevent and
punish violence against women, the unpunished killing of women remains a serious
concern.
The importance of gender equality and women’s empowerment, particularly
women’s economic empowerment
by enhancing the role of women as drivers of poverty
reduction, promoting female investors and entrepreneurs.
This Project is formed by a group of women that help other women in social risk to
improve their quality of live through emotional support and capacitation. The main aim of
the project is to teach the women vocational skills that will help them gain employment in
the future. The project is also a point of different talks where women could share their
situations at home and realize that they have a way out of it. Women from
this
neighbourhood
live
like in other generation, they haven’t seen a different horizon, they
don ́t receive education and they suffer of domestic violence. When they wake up and
realize that what they are going through is not normal, they get
depressed,
and they
need a guide and contention to be able to manage this situation and take the best out
of it.
The main objective focus on supporting women’s initiatives and projects which aim to
advance gender equality as a tool for social change.
