      • Mar 2018 - May 2018

      In many of the indigenous and mestizo communities around Cuenca that Pakariñan works with, women face barriers that hold them back from actively engaging in political decision-making. I initiated and designed a project on indigenous women's political empowerment. We visited eight indigenous villages that Pakariñan works with to conduct interviews and group discussions, to the women and men themselves identifying barriers and potential solutions. These assessment concluded that a leadership training, self esteem program and support group for women and girls would be created. Show less
