The vida liberada (in English: "liberated life") area is
committed to fighting sexual abuse and domestic violence. It is aimed at
women and
children and offers them help and a
place of refuge.
An important part of vida liberada is our program for female students "Mujeres de Oro" (roughly translated as "Women of Gold").
Since March 2021, this sub-project has been providing safe housing and support in various life matters for young women during their vocational training. Accompanied by four staff members, they meet three times a week for different group sessions. These include a communal dinner to discuss the past week, time for handicrafts that can later be sold as a source of income. Also, there are meetings for various life skills classes, as well as sports alternating with a small group and spiritual input.
This creates a space and an opportunity for the young women to grow in faith, in their interactions with each other, in lifestyle and self-confidence.
Thus, at the end of their studies, they have much more than just a professional qualification, namely the opportunity to go into a hopeful future, self-determined and capable of community.
