The project \"Phase Two: Strengthening Spaces for the Prevention and Response to Gender-Based Violence Through Women's Community Support Networks\" aims for a comprehensive transformation of the violence faced by women. The phase consisted of:

1. Mechanisms for the response and care of gender-based violence through 14 comprehensive care centers: Mechanisms to support women victims of violence are strengthened by offering psychological, legal, social, and medical assistance. The centers provide safe spaces and specific protocols, with a multidisciplinary team that creates action plans to guarantee the restoration of rights. Additionally, victims are accompanied with legal advice and support for their economic autonomy through training and entrepreneurship. Follow-up is done under a protocol that respects the confidentiality and autonomy of the victim.

2. Women's community support networks: The role of support networks is strengthened as a protective and resilience factor for women victims of violence. These networks allow integration and collaboration between women in the same community to provide support, containment, and accompaniment during the recovery process. Training is offered to these networks to activate care protocols and notify relevant institutions to ensure victims receive the necessary help. Additionally, the goal is to transform gender-based violence through the creation of protection mechanisms and a fight for equal rights.

3. Psychosocial community transformation process for the prevention of gender-based violence: A community process is implemented to promote a culture of peace and the rebuilding of harmonious relationships in the communities. This includes interventions by psychologists, group therapy, case identification, and men's forums to promote new masculinities. The aim is to break with gender stereotypes that perpetuate violence and create a change in social practices. Furthermore, the work of women within the support networks is highlighted, showing how these networks have become a model of protection and social transformation.

These actions strengthen women's economic autonomy and promote a change in violent practices, fostering equality of rights and opportunities for all.

  El proyecto \"Segunda fase: Fortalecimiento de espacios para la prevención y respuesta a la violencia basada en género a través de redes de apoyo comunitarias de mujeres\" busca una transformación integral de la situación de violencia que enfrentan las mujeres. La fase consistió en:

  1. Mecanismos de atención y respuesta de la violencia basada en género mediante 14 centros de atención integral: Se fortalecen los mecanismos de acogida para mujeres víctimas de violencia, ofreciendo atención psicológica, jurídica, social y médica. Los centros brindan espacios seguros y protocolos específicos, con un equipo multidisciplinario que crea planes de acción para garantizar la restitución de derechos. Además, se acompaña a las víctimas con asesoría legal y apoyo para su autonomía económica mediante formación y emprendimiento. El seguimiento se realiza bajo un protocolo que respeta la confidencialidad y autonomía de la víctima.

  2. Redes de apoyo comunitarias de mujeres: Se fortalece el papel de las redes de apoyo como factor protector y de resiliencia para las mujeres víctimas de violencia. Estas redes permiten la integración y colaboración entre mujeres de la misma comunidad, con el fin de brindar apoyo, contención y acompañamiento durante el proceso de recuperación. Se ofrece formación a estas redes para activar protocolos de atención y notificación a las instituciones pertinentes, con el objetivo de garantizar que las víctimas reciban la ayuda necesaria. Además, se busca transformar la violencia de género a través de la creación de mecanismos de protección y de lucha por la igualdad de derechos.

  3. Proceso de transformación psicosocial comunitaria para la prevención de la violencia basada en género: Se implementa un proceso comunitario que promueva la cultura de paz y la reconstrucción de relaciones armónicas en las comunidades. Esto incluye intervenciones de psicólogos, terapia grupal, identificación de casos y foros de hombres para promover nuevas masculinidades. Se busca romper con los estereotipos de género que perpetúan la violencia y generar un cambio en las prácticas sociales. Además, se visibiliza el trabajo de las mujeres dentro de las redes de apoyo, demostrando cómo estas redes se han convertido en un modelo de protección y transformación social.

  Estas acciones refuerzan la autonomía económica de las mujeres y promueven el cambio de prácticas violentas, fomentando la igualdad de derechos y oportunidades para todos.
