Domestic violence
in Latin America is one of the most
devastating problems affecting family
life in this area of the world. Unfortunately,
Costa Rica has its share of this cruel
reality.
For this reason,
the Volunteer Costa Rica Program sponsors
this Gender Issues project, offering
volunteers the opportunity to make
a positive change in the lives of
women in Costa Rica.
Working together with a private organization
in Costa Rica, you will have the opportunity
to join in several different and challenging
tasks such as:
- Women’s
integral restoration
- Working with young mothers
- Working with couples or families
- Male issues
Volunteers in this
project will also be able to teach
the organization's members different
topics including self esteem, empowerment,
and handicrafts.
