Background Information

The high socio-economic vulnerability in San Pablo Tacachico is more visible and felt by women, who face a range of serious issues (loss of identity, low self-esteem, internal or international migration, alcoholism or drug addiction, early motherhood, infectious diseases, sexual violence, domestic violence, etc.). Therefore, it is crucial to strengthen the capacities of the population, particularly women, to demand and address fundamental human rights, especially economic and social rights. This involves addressing the immediate and strategic needs and interests of the selected population for this project, which is part of four Community Development Associations (ADESCOS) in San Pablo Tacachico.
