WAW was in Ituizango

Invited by the Association Civil "Mother Earth", WAW coordinated four workshops with women from the neigbourhood of Ituizango on gender and self-esteem.  The workshops were organised by the request of the women that participate weekly in the activities of "Mother Earth", in order to create a space where they could work on their self-esteem from a gender perspective, building jointly a group of reflection and action. 

The participants for the workshops grew from workshop to workshop, and after a month, the group has decided to continue with the meetings.  Many thanks to all and we hope to see you soon!

WAW's Course ""Tools to intervene in situations of violence. Level 1" has just ended

The first annual course Level I "Tools to intervene in situations of violence" that WAW offers every year has just finished. The objective of these courses on gender violence is to contribute and to think further on the theoretical tools and practices for the analysis and the intervention of family violence situations from a gender perspective.

The first course of the year 2010, began on 12th May and it was directed to educators, social workers, doctors, psychologists, health agents, operators common and members of the institutions that be in contact with the problems.

The course was designed and delivered by WAW's Specialized Team. The course has a six-week length, and takes place on Wednesday from 6 to 9 p.m. at the headquarters of WAW.

Since last year, the courses have a small cost in order to be able to cover the basic expenses of the activities that we develop.

We expect to be able to carry out a second course Level I during 2010, as we are at the moment defining the start dates. We will certainly publish the new date in the web page.
