Gender Assistant
FUNDACION ALIANZA POR LOS DERECHOS, LA IGUALDAD Y LA SOLIDARIDAD INTERNACIONAL
El Alto, Bolivia
Description
CPMGA is an institution that has been working for 40 years in the town of El Alto. We aspire to reach a more inclusive and equal society for women, where people return to their land, fight for women’s rights and democracy. All actions are taken from a non-hegemonic feminist perspective, oriented towards co-construction and wide openness to women's dialogues. Our work focuses on providing services for women who are victims of violence. It requires emotional support and containment, psychological care for adult and young women who have been victims of violence, as well as counselling for young people regarding sexuality, prevention of violent relationships and masculinities. It will be very important for the institution to contribute to group containment and the generation of women's sorority communities.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
For security reasons and ease of access to transport, food, health and other services, markets and supermarkets, it has been determined that the accommodation should be located in a safe and central area of the city of La Paz, which could be Sopocachi or Miraflores. These areas are located an hour away from the CPMGA offices and the journey can be made by minibus (public transport) or by cable car. Restaurants, markets and supermarkets will provide food for the volunteer.
