Urban gardens for women victims of violence in Quito, Ecuador

The aim of our project is the socioeconomic involvement of 50 women (victims of gender-based violence who live off of informal employment, have low levels of education and face harassment and sexual abuse, unwanted pregnancies and depression), through an educational and participatory process with gender and environmental issues via the creation of an urban garden with traditional and hydroponic techniques, to acquire tools of self-esteem, autonomy and inclusion.
