Words which Change Lives

Problem Statement

The confinement, as a preventive measure for the COVID-19 pandemic, has emphasized an even greater problem: gender violence. Women who suffer domestic violence are at great risk since they are isolated with their own abusers, which limits their options to seek a support network.

Target Group

Women from 12 to 57 years who suffer gender violence.

Proposed Solution

Provide support, solidarity, motivation, and sisterhood through letters written by people with similar experiences and connect the victims with a support network of specialists in this field.

Hub Activities

The Project was carried out in collaboration with the company Nuda Est® in order to reach a greater number of impacted people. The project was divided into four stages:

1. Call and connect the largest number of associations that serve and support abused women and find out how many women could be reached.

2. Reception of letters from women to women, on the Nuda Est® platforms.

3. Delivery of the letters in the participating associations.

4. Measurement and publication of the results obtained from the project to the participants and the rest of our society.
