🤝 Fortalecemos la prevención de la violencia junto a aliados estratégicos. Con el apoyo del @el_BID, @RESCUE_Airbel y @poverty_action, el Programa Nacional Aurora del MIMP presentó los resultados del estudio "Hablemos entre Patas" (2021-2023). Este innovador proyecto, que trabaja con hombres para prevenir la violencia en las relaciones, refuerza nuestro compromiso en la lucha contra la violencia a través del trabajo articulado con diversas instituciones. 🗣️Durante la presentación, la ministra del #MIMP, Teresa Hernández, resaltó: “Desde 2021, con el proyecto piloto Hablemos Entre Patas, promovemos una masculinidad saludable. En este espacio, los hombres reflexionan sobre sus comportamientos y buscan soluciones pacíficas a sus conflictos cotidianos, evitando cualquier forma de violencia.” 🥸 Como parte del estudio realizado por investigadores internacionales, se definió una muestra de 2,500 hombres, quienes recibieron mensajes sobre masculinidades saludables a través de #WhatsApp durante 30 días. Este proceso fue monitoreado por facilitadores capacitados por las instituciones cooperantes, con el acompañamiento de profesionales del Programa Nacional Aurora del MIMP. La directora ejecutiva del programa, Patricia Garrido Rengifo, enfatizó el potencial de este estudio para fortalecer el trabajo preventivo del sector.

Looking for papers documenting/testing the idea that that an intervention that empowers women in one domain can lead to them reducing empowerment/independent decisionmaking in other domains - e.g. capitulating to compensate / trying to avoid conflict within the HH.

Our @DevLabDuke1 @UNC_CSEEES @ecalvo68 @MOBILISEproject Data For Ukraine @ Machine Learning For Peace project finds this too. We find that the biggest Human Rights Abuses are occurring in Kherson see our report : mlp.trinity.duke.edu/assets/…
Replying to @JosephStash
- There are now many Russians in Kherson who arrived for the 9th May parade. Many of them now work at the market and sell Russian products. My friend says that when they go out now they don’t see familiar faces. Russians are arriving to replace Ukrainians and live in their homes.
