COMPLEMENTS ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS
Dones Mentores complements current assistance programs promoting social participation and horizontality. It is aimed at battered women and/or at women in social risk and it offers qualified support in cases of special complexity. Mentees-are assigned a mentor for a specific time.
Selected mentors are survivors with similar experiences or women who, without having suffered violence, have large experience assisting women and have high gender sensitivity. The accompaniment of mentors, once they have been trained in mentoring, is carried out based on a structure, with specific objectives and with the supervision of the coordinating team.
