Description

At the IAF we support community-led approaches to civic engagement and human rights. Our grantee partner asociación civil colectivo para LA participación DE LA infancia Y juventud (COPIJ) will form community groups to provide women psychosocial and legal accompaniment in two departments of eastern guatemala. COPIJ will comprehensively address the factors that keep women from seeking legal recourse against violent family members and improve women's access to public services. This will increase the likelihood that women will report GBV to law enforcement and receive support and accompaniment from their community and public institutions. This grant is part of the IAF's women investing in growth and security (WINGS) initiative to empower women as business and community leaders and part of the IAF's efforts to address the root causes of irregular migration in central america.
