Social welfare and gender protection in Latin America

Overview

Social welfare and protection initiatives for women are being implemented in Argentina and Colombia. In Argentina, programs have focused on maternal support, such as the ‘Mamá Misionera’ initiative in Misiones, which provides nutrition training and essential supplies to vulnerable women. Additionally, Colombia’s ‘Bien Nacer’ program in Pasto has utilized vocational training, including manicure and pedicure workshops, to promote economic empowerment and financial autonomy for mothers.

Efforts in Argentina have since expanded to include specialized gender-based protection services. In Wanda, Misiones, authorities announced the creation of a dedicated Women's Police Station to provide legal advice and professional accompaniment for those facing domestic and gender-based violence. Furthermore, in Saladillo, new measures aim to integrate municipal staff with provincial ministries to better coordinate responses to gender-related issues and facilitate access to public policies.
