The
Shelters National Network
is an organization for
Peruvian women. It was
born because of the necessity
and the women’s
dreams of having a new
society free of violence,
making people respect
their rights, ending with
centuries of intolerance,
discrimination, extreme
poverty, rapes and sexual
harassment, murders against
women and children.
The
Shelters National Network was founded in
1998 with the union of different shelters
that represent the natural regions of Peru.
The necessity of saving thousands of women’s
lives that daily live in sexual and family
violence as well as in poverty. “The
women’s voice was founded in 1982,
being this the first shelter in Peru for
women and children who are victims of sexual
and family violence. “The women’s
voice” shelter was the first stone
to keep creating the whole National Network.
Women and Children that are victims of sexual
and family violence as well as of extreme
poverty find in the shelters a place where
to get over of the consequences of violence
that they have suffered for years. they
also find in these shelters a new opportunity
to have a new life without violence. We
help victims to get over by making them
know their human rights and working on their
self-esteem, as well as giving them the
tools to generate their own economic resources
through production.
The
shelters are places that generate
life and are the center to generate
sensitivity and awareness of
the terrible consequences for
the society, the violence that
women and children have to live.
The Shelters national network
has like its center the equality
of gender and the participation
of the woman in all the social
life.
