Descripción
Asociación Pro Derechos Humanos (APRODEH) is a non-profit organization that works for the defense and promotion of integral human rights. At our Ayacucho headquarters, priority is given to strengthening the capacities of agroecological producers in high Andean areas in Huanta and urban producers in Huamanga in alliance with an association of people with disabilities. In Huanta, the aim is to strengthen their capacity to participate in political and social advocacy for the protection of their native seeds and the recognition of their ancestral farming culture. In both areas we also work to promote women's rights, particularly their sexual and reproductive rights and political participation. The vacancy is linked to the work APRODEH has been developing to strengthen the capacities of people with disabilities in Pucrupata, for their self-sustainability and income generation from their community agroecology production, also contributing to strengthen the participation of women.
