Project Description:<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\n

The project \"Organizational strengthening as a strategy for the defense of the rights of young women in southern Pet\u00e9n\", Phase I and II, implemented during 2016 and 2017, strengthened the democratic and political participation of 40 Maya Q'eqch\u00ed and Mestiza youth volunteer leaders of the AMA Association, aged between 16 and 30 years old, from 15 communities and eight marginal urban areas of the municipalities of San Luis, Popt\u00fan, Dolores and El Chal, Pet\u00e9n, through the transfer of capacities for the promotion and defense of human and political rights and sexual and reproductive rights for the effective prevention of pregnancies and sexual violence in girls and adolescents in Southern Pet\u00e9n, Guatemala.<\/p>\n

To achieve the objective, four components were implemented. The first one referred to the organizational strengthening of AMA, through its legal constitution, as a strategy for the promotion and defense of young women's rights.<\/p>\n

The second component contemplated the strengthening of democratic participation and political advocacy of women and youth, as a follow-up to the commitments made by the 2016-2020 elected municipal corporation of Popt\u00fan, Pet\u00e9n, during the I Municipal Youth Forum \"+ Facts - Promises 2015\" with mayoral candidates of that municipality, the Act\u00edvate Joven Mujer II project and the formation of the Technical Committee \"Prevent with Education\" District of the Southeast of Pet\u00e9n.<\/p>\n

The third component focused on an exchange of experiences between AMA's volunteer youth leaders and youth groups from other departments of the country, in order to share best practices on how to carry out social advocacy, obstacles, and achievements, as well as the support received in the process.<\/p>\n

The project was supported by local partners. Global Humanitaria, Radio U'tan Kaj, the Human Rights Ombudsman's Office, the Health Program of the San Pedro M\u00e1rtir de Verona Parish, the Pet\u00e9n Ixquik Women's Association, the municipality of Popt\u00fan and youth and university organizations, and was financed by the Central American Women's Fund -FCAM-.<\/p>\n

The fourth component was aimed at increasing the capacities of 40 AMA Association youth volunteers between the ages of 16 and 29 from 12 Maya Q'eqch\u00ed and Mestizo communities in the municipalities of San Luis, Popt\u00fan, Dolores and El Chal, Pet\u00e9n, through the development of two environmental education youth camps and a reforestation project.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
