1. Background

Violence against women is a phenomenon with multiple parts that interact to negatively impact women’s lives and the lives of their sons and daughters, their families and their communities. It constitutes a violation of their fundamental human rights and should not be seen as a private matter, but rather as something that affects the society as a whole since it affects the possibilities of a little over half of humanity to live their lives freely and fully.

Latin America and the Caribbean have the highest rates of sexual violence in the world, the highest rates of violence by a partner or former partner, and alarming levels of feminicide. In 2017, in 23 countries in the region, 2,795 women were reported murdered because of their gender. In 2016, the Central American region had the highest murder rate of women in the world, 4.8 per hundred thousand females.

The methodology used by CRS, “Woman, you are not alone!” was designed to respond to this problem with a psychosocial approach to violence prevention and attention. The methodology promotes the creation of women’s help groups in which women themselves, after going through a personal transformation process, can become community therapists, helping other women to overcome the adverse effects of violence in their lives and avoid future cycles of violence. Thus, a path is developed of individual and collective healing that contributes to the well-being of women, their families, and their communities.

With the support of local partners, CRS Haiti intends to start the implementation of the methodology of “Women you are not alone!” in Haiti. Currently, the curriculum and all accompanying documents and tools are only available in Spanish. To facilitate its use in Haiti, CRS will translate the materials into Haitian Creole, then simultaneously contract a consultant to redesign the translated guide.
