Description
Summary:This project aimed to work with women who play key roles in their respective communities by keeping dining places, day care nurseries and work cooperatives open and functional, and by organizing gender workshops, among other activities. Thus, these women’s work encourages the psycho-social development and the material survival of numerous families, while they also struggle to transform the structural conditions in which such families live. Our intervention consisted of a series of meetings oriented towards stimulating the development of these women’s reflective and critical practices, encouraging them to use community strategies for the promotion and protection of individual and collective health. Accordingly, it entailed a proposal for Health Education (HE). We developed the notion of Social Community Operators (SCO) considering the transformative potential involved in providing these women with tools that allow them to improve both the identification of certain problems and their adequate systematization and referral/response. At the same time, these women are expected to perform the role of knowledge disseminators through their daily dialogue with their communities. Therefore, by means of the training of SCO, we seek to promote the co-construction of health strategies.
