In the provinces of Condorcanqui and Bagua, the Nuwa Senchi Project, driven by UNFPA and USAID in partnership with Kallpa, stands out in the fight against gender violence, responding to the alarming reality where more than 51.3% of women in Amazonas have experienced violence from their partners. The registration of 163 cases of violence in Condorcanqui and 428 in Bagua, as reflected in the statistics from the Women's Emergency Centers in 2023, underscores the critical need for these interventions, where the majority of those affected are women and girls.
The project has mobilized 8,721 people through culturally adapted awareness strategies, including informational booths and messenger motorcycles, to disseminate preventive and supportive messages, highlighting the importance of accessing appropriate services.
The 392 women and adolescents who have participated in psychosocial group support sessions have found spaces for healing and personal strengthening, while the 912 case management sessions have provided essential support to violence survivors, emphasizing comprehensive and sensitive care. Likewise, through the distribution of 210 Dignity Kits, the project has reinforced dignity and self-care among women and adolescents, providing not only hygiene items but also vital information about rights and available resources.
Furthermore, the training of 15 community leaders in Nieva and Cenepa strengthens local leadership and violence prevention, turning them into key figures within their communities.
Similarly, the training provided to 42 professionals in violence care standards and 51 health providers in clinical management of sexual violence highlights the project's focus on improving the quality and effectiveness of institutional response.
On International Women's Day, the project deployed campaigns reflecting progress towards equality and confronting gender violence, reaffirming the commitment to eliminating this scourge and empowering communities in Condorcanqui and Bagua.
Thus, the Nuwa Senchi Project demonstrates a commitment to justice and equality, showcasing the significant impact of collaboration and concerted action towards a future without violence for women and girls in the Amazonas region.
