because everybody are convinced

 SUSTAINABILITY AND REPLICATION

• Sustainable practice: it appeals and tends

to give responsibilities the entities and
local associations

• The combination of the gender approach

INSTITUTION

with the promotion of the generative

activities of income allows to fight the
poverty which is an aspect connected to
the violence especially to the women

• This practice can be repeated by Rural

districts because she does not ask for
enormous financial means.

• It is enough to raise awareness and to

give responsibilities the entities and the
local structures

TOGETHER FOR THE RESPECT OF DIGNITY

 LESSONS LEARNED

• The formalization of policy relative to the

gender facilitate the implication and the
commitment of all the local structures

• The formalization and the support of the

INSTITUTION

local associations favor the will of its

members to become partners of the
Commune

• The so formalized and rested local

associations can play also the roles assigned
in the center of listening

• The generative activity of income for the

peasant associations allows to improve the
income for household, favoring the
autonomy of the women and contributes to
the respect for their dignity
