The project aims to contribute to the recognition and exercise of the fundamental rights of women and young people, especially the right to a life free of violence.

The project proposes working with women and young people as agents of social change to question naturalized practices of violence and deconstruct established gender roles.
Develops campaign actions, participatory action research and advocacy on local governments.
