Millennium Fellowship Project: Sumak
This project is about gender equality, specifically about female empowerment for girls and young women in Peru. We believe that by raising awareness of women's
fundamental rights and recognizing equality between men and women we can have a better society. We focus on different topics: Exclusive opportunities for women, the dissemination of calls for projects, jobs, volunteers, free courses where women can develop professionally. Focus on self-love: we share messages of self-esteem, self-love, as well as highlighting the importance of always putting ourselves first. Awareness of gender violence: we raise awareness about the violence figures in
Peru, the help phone numbers, the cases of femicides that occur, how to detect different forms of violence, among others.
