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.
