Social Engagement to Foster Women Empowerment Against Gender Violence

In remote Amazon communities, women face daily threats: domestic violence, cultural exclusion, and lack of citizenship.Although programmes have targeted these challenges, many gender-related issues are accepted due to a patriarchal arrangement. This has been poorly addressed by the lack of proper tools of engagement and education. This has intensified a conservative culture, with no proper participation of women in communities' decisions -- jeopardising their social power, health and life.
