Gender-based violence (GBV)
Informe Final: Línea de Base proyecto Guardianas del Cambio
The "Guardianas del Cambio" project, implemented by CARE Perú and Humanity & Inclusion with USAID funding, aims to reduce the vulnerability of girls, adolescents, and women in Amazonas and Loreto to climate change-induced natural risks. The project focuses on enhancing their adaptive capacities and fostering their participation in creating sustainable local solutions. A baseline study was conducted, involving 1,031 students and 50 adults through surveys. Key findings include that 19% of students adopted climate adaptation measures, 2.7% participated in climate-related decision-making spaces, and over 50% engaged in civic activities. Additionally, 58.91% of students agreed with principles of gender equality, and 21.01% of female students reported strengthened competencies in equity, respect, and social participation. The study also identified two nature-based solutions implemented at the municipal level with an intersectional approach. Data collection emphasized representativeness, confidentiality, and comprehensive analysis using indices to assess project indicators.

Curiosity Collective II : Are VSLA feminist platforms for gender transformation?
CARE has worked with Village Savings and Loans Associations (VLSAs) since 1991. Their success has been primarily measured, since then, in terms of women’s economic agency. However, there is evidence that VSLAs have broader impacts, particularly in relation to gender equality for women and
girls. To date, there has still been little consistent investment in capturing these gender transformational impacts such as how VSLAs have promoted women’s dignity, women’s voice, challenged gender stereotypes and dismantled patriarchal power dynamics; all of which are changes CARE seeks in its gender equality framework.
This paper focuses on the gender transformative aspects of the VSLAs. It explores how VSLAs can be a platform to challenge patriarchal structures that discriminate against and normalize violence against women and girls. It builds on a Meta Evaluation, Curiosity Collective I carried out by the West Africa region Read More...
