At LAB-CO, we believe that all forms of violence against women and girls are unacceptable. In a reality where millions of women face it daily in different areas of their lives, we work with public institutions so they acknowledge their responsibility and fully realize their potential in preventing and addressing this problem.
To this end, we strengthen institutional capacities across five critical stages:
- Proactively identifying cases,
- Assessing risks and vulnerabilities,
- Ensuring comprehensive support for victims,
- Effectively investigating crimes and establishing protective and sanctioning responses proportionate to the level of risk,
- Promoting therapeutic alternatives for men who have used violence.
Our work is grounded in collaboration with civil society, academia, and the private sector, and we operate with the conviction that it is possible to move toward a country where women live free from violence and where institutions generate effective, sustainable, and scalable responses.
