Project title *
"Let me hear you" radial initiative-prevention campaing against drug abuse in gender violence scenarios
Title acronym
Let me hear you
Description *
With our initiative, we pretend to create a support network of locally-based women (in Bogotá) who have been victims of intra-familial violence, adding that we are looking to do so in contexts of substance abuse. The main objective of our initiative is to identify, support and organize women who have been victims of acts of violence (physical, sexual, psychological, etc.) in their homes, specially (but not exclusively) in contexts of drug and substance abuse or consumption, to create a locally-based movement against intra-familial violence against women in contexts of substance abuse. With this, we expect to empower and give primary assistance to women victim of domestic violence in contexts of drug or substance abuse. Our initiative revolves around a Radio Station that is under construction and in an early stage of development. This Radio Station is called “Libérate Radio” (“Free Yourself radio”), the main program is called "Let me hear you", and it is going to be locally-based and ran by professionals in our organization as well as women, victims of intra-familial violence, from the Suba-Tuna Alta community in Bogotá. We began this initiative with the believe that violence against women in context of drug abuse is a way of 1) crystalizing and enabling intra-familial violence and 2) re-victimizing women in a role of multiple vulnerabilities. For this, we must ensure the physical space and infrastructure in where the Radio Station is going to operate, the meetings for the support group are going to be and the training in Humans Rights and prevention on substance abuse are going to de lectured.
