Bolivia: ANDREA RAMIREZ, Programme Manager in Bolivia
Within our learning community, I have been looking more specifically at intersectionality (a concept aimed at revealing the plurality of discrimination) in gender-based violence. When it interacts with other forms of exclusion based on origin, socio-economic status, age, etc., the effects accumulate and shape their sense of power, resilience and position in social and economic life. Our programme to support healthcare systems in Bolivia therefore takes into account the many forms of marginalisation faced by women.
