Background

The area in the southwest of the municipality of Zapopan, where one of the RSCJ community lives, is very close to the Bosque de la Primavera, one of the most important natural reserves in Jalisco, Mexico. This forest has been brutally deforested, as well as being a space for drug cultivation and excessive use of chemical fertilisers, so that the herbal plants are very likely to lack and to be polluted.

Direct objective

To favour the care of the environment by organically planting medicinal plants.

Background

There is evidence that, in the marginalised area of the southwest of the municipality of Zapopan, Jalisco, women live in a context of domestic violence. This situation leads to insecurity and an increase in symptoms of depression and anxiety in these women.

Objective

To provide tools to women victims of domestic violence to strengthen their basic security, their ability to socialise in an optimal way and to establish fraternal and non-violent relationships in order to improve their self-esteem and their rights as women.

Background

The social level of the San Luis Potosí inhabitants is low and their houses have limited spaces for family harmony. Violence and insecurity have increased and set the area to the 9th position as criminal incidence in the country and there has been an increase of 37% of denounced crimes. This situation has had negative repercussions in other areas: family, school and street life. Poverty has increased and leisure spaces have decreased.
