Prejudices and social norms exacerbate inequality between people and generate different types of violence. Too often, social norms accept violence and invalidate the fulfillment of individual's rights. Life skills must be developed that allow for a life free of violence and for confronting different types barriers to this. Even geographical barriers can limit one’s knowledge of her rights and access to the agencies responsible for protecting them.

We facilitate the development of life skills, empowerment and personal agency as tools to prevent, detect and deal with situations of violence on a personal level as well as to change the social norms that favor violence. We establish inter-institutional partnerships to raise awareness and reinforce actions aimed at the protection of human rights and gender equity. Programs are designed according to the needs of the population, integrating community leader participation. These programs are located in both rural and urban areas.
