Grant Description

With the economic and social instability caused by COVID-19 across the region the incidence of gender-based violence (GBV) is growing while resources to support survivors are diminishing. At the IAF we support community-led approaches to civic engagement and human rights.

Our grantee partner Asociacion Civil Colectivo para la Participaci&oacute 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.
