More Information About this Project
Project Needs and Beneficiaries
Northeast Brazil is the most violent region of a country where a woman is beaten every 15 seconds (70% of cases occur within the home). In response to this problem, dozens of small, grassroots women's organizations have been created to provide a wide range of direct services for abused women. Each has worked independently of the other, and can have a more strategic impact by joining together in a network, increasing both outreach and the quality of services provided.
Activities
Grassroots women's groups will come together at regional workshops to exchange information, share best practices, and receive training in improving the structure of their organizations and systematizing their knowledge for optimum learning.
Funding Information
This project has been retired and is no longer accepting donations.

Why this Project is Important
Potential Long Term Impact
Diverse women's groups will improve their internal structure, increase their capacity to provide direct services, and identify areas of strategic collaboration with other groups, resulting in more success in the battle to end domestic violence.
Project Message
By offering training in systems, organizational structure, and social justice issues, these groups do better work for women who have suffered from violence.
