Women on the Way
Promoting gender equality in our community has been a significant challenge for us. This project's importance lies in providing assistance to women and children who have experienced various forms of violence.
The women on the way project was launched in 2021 to provide support to the community of Canton Xeúl and the Las Rosas neighborhood in Quetzaltenango. Since its inception, the project has addressed a total of 31 cases, primarily focused on various forms of violence.
Women on the way aims to prioritize mental health within the community. Despite societal adaptations, mental health remains a taboo subject in the region. Recognizing the pivotal role of addressing mental health in resolving societal conflicts, we have championed this initiative as a long-term solution. This effort not only benefits women but also aims to positively impact the children of the community.
