Group work

It is proposed as a safe and trusting space to strengthen women’s autonomy and empowerment, as well as to detect and prevent possible situations of gender violence or other forms of exploitation and discrimination.

It also seeks to promote and improve coexistence between different cultures; to offer tools for the protection, self-care, autonomy and empowerment of women; and to promote their social inclusion, participation, the expansion of support networks and the full exercise of their rights.

Within the group work, two types of activities are differentiated:

  1. Prevention activities/strong>

    • Family economic management
  2. Activities to detect gender violence
