GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE PREVENTION STRATEGY

Pro Mujer supports low-income women in five Latin American countries by providing access to financial services, preventive health services, and education and business training. The organization aims to address the detrimental and pervasive effects of gender-based violence (GBV) on its clients. To help execute their mission, Pro Mujer enlisted a Capstone team to identify strategies to implement a GBV intervention and prevention program. The team explored approaches to addressing GBV through an in-house program and partnerships. The team developed screening criteria, created stakeholder maps of potential partners, conducted interviews with stakeholders in Bolivia, and provided an overview of potential funding strategies. The team offered recommendations that apply to each Pro Mujer location across the five countries of operation.
