Why this Project is Important
Potential Long Term Impact
The FWAAR Cotacachi Project works to eliminate violence against women and children, and, until that happens, to provide safety and support to survivors of that violence as they take control of their own lives.
Project Message
"Women come to us battered and bleeding and I've even- on occasion- taken to housing them in my own apartment if it's too dangerous for them to return to their homes. We need a shelter here."
- Albina Moreno, President, La Coordinadora de Mujeres Urbanas
