Description:
Women living in rural and Indigenous communities in Mexico face high rates of gender-based violence. Our grantee Mujeres Transformando Mundos, A.C. (MUTRAM), in coordination with popular education organization Centro de Educacin Integral de Base (CEIBA), supports grassroots leaders and groups in southern Chiapas to address gender-based violence and improve gender equity through trainings and workshops. Participants replicate workshops with their neighborhood organizations. In addition, MUTRAM engages networks in southern Mexico to expand the regional impact that it and CEIBA have on these issues. This grant is part of the IAFs Women INvesting in Growth and Security (WINGS) initiative to empower women as business and community leaders. Amendment FY24 This amendment provides MUTRAM with three additional years and $240,670 in funds to expand and deepen its peacebuilding and violence prevention efforts with women, men, and young people in Chiapas, Mexico. The amendment will add new tools for MUTRAM including seed capital funds to support the action plans of local grassroots collectives, an urgent action fund for victims of violence, and the identification of a complementary evidence-based methodology that MUTRAM can use to address specific drivers of chronic violence. As part of the amendment, MUTRAM is mobilizing an additional $263,210 in counterpart resources to the grant agreement.
