Testimony
It is common for women to withdraw from friends and family due to situations of violence. At the same time, society also tends to withdraw or not get involved, due to lack of information, prejudices, and not knowing how to accompany and advise them.
One of the first objectives that are met from the group approach is to get out of the isolation in which women victims of violence usually find themselves. Meeting with other women who suffer similar situations, sharing experiences, exchanging ideas, proposals, reflections, in other words, creating a network, is undoubtedly healing and constitutes a key piece to find solutions.
We asked the women who attend the institution about their experience from participating in the groups:
Did you form a network of containment from your experience in mutual aid groups?
"A group of friends was formed with whom we maintained fluid contact at the beginning and that we are still in contact with two years later."
"Yes. I found some beautiful women in my group, who became my support network, MY FRIENDS ”.
“My experience is extremely enriching. not only on a personal level but it helps me to see things from another perspective. It educates me to be able to educate my close circle on this path of struggle for gender equality and the fight against violence of all kinds ”.
How does having formed this network help you?
"It helped me to feel accompanied, understood and to take the impulse I needed to get out of this violent and sad situation."
“It helps me to value myself. I understood that I am not the culprit, that I did not choose to be violated. It is a day-to-day job, in which I am surrounded by people who understand me and give me their unconditional support ”.
“It helps me to improve myself and gain strength. Feel supported, contained, and see myself reflected in each of my colleagues ”.
"By forming a containment network, one begins to take courage to face all kinds of situations and start to stand up for oneself."
