At present, our organization doesn’t count with financing for offer a better and constant legal attention to more women that lives violence. As we don't have a constant budget, we can’t have a full time lawyer that can offer legal adviser. This attention es very necessary and important for our organization, because is the only place where women feel heard, supported and oriented, so they say that.

Women who come to our organization are from far away communities so it is expensive for them to move from their community to our organization and in occasions they comeback discouraged not having the necessary staff to provide this support.

People in the law enforcement agencies are not sensitized to provide good care, instead of helping women, they re-victimize them and end up violating their rights. In other hand, community authorities don’t count with training and experience for attend women that lives violence or don’t want to attend women violence cases because are macho men.
