Three stories of transformation

By Fondo de Mujeres del Sur | In close collaboration with the activists

Hello, how are you?

I hope this email finds you well. Today, we would like to share with you three stories that inspire us to do what we do: empowering women’s organisations that work to build lives free from violence.
We hope you enjoy them :)

Allison and Kelly studied far from Melo, Uruguay, where they were born. A few years ago upon graduating they returned to work there and they reconnected with their city in a new way: they wanted to create networks with others to build a community free from violence. Learn about the path they took and how they managed to establish a network for others and for themselves.
San Gregorio de Polanco is a small city, located in the north of Uruguay, in the department of Tacuarembó. Lorena has always lived there, with her sons and daughters. Three years ago she joined a group of women and she never imagined how that network would transform her life, and how she could contribute to transforming others’ lives.
Nicolle’s grandmother taught her an important lesson at a very young age: “You can be whatever you want to be, the only thing I ask of you, is that you make a difference.” That push led her to study, to not be intimidated, to meet other activists, and to become a leader in Rivera, her city, in the north of Uruguay.

The stories shared show what community networks of women are capable of, what they do, what it means to have a way out of isolation and to be able to begin to think about a shared future with others.

Strengthening these strategies is the way we choose to build lives free from violence. With your donation, you can strengthen these networks so that more organisations can continue with their work. Join the campaign to strengthen the networks that keep us Together, Stronger and Alive!!

We send you our warmest regards and wish you a wonderful start to the New Year. Warm regards!
