INFANTE

Today I was introduced to the work I will be doing for INFANTE during my year in Bolivia. I will be involved in two projects, el Centro Infantil Estrellita-Warita, as well as Comunidad. My area of expertise is public policy and advocacy, so I will be working mostly in violence prevention through capacitation workshops with teachers, parents and students, as well as with public authorities on the local and national level, and in an interinstitutional network with ONGs from other countries. My job is to push for a better public policy aimed at protecting the rights of children and adolescents, as well as helping women that have been victims of violence to take on leadership and assume a protagonist role in terms of human development, gender equity and rights restitution.

On a side note, I am sick ;( every single muscle in my body aches.. so I shall refrain from writing more today.
