Mission to two UNDEF Chile projects in support of constitutional deliberations
An UNDEF project in Chile works to promote women鈥檚 participation and gender content in Chile鈥檚 current constitutional process; advance women鈥檚 understanding of the new constitution's importance to them and their rights; generate debates on key gender issues; advocate for the inclusion of gender aspects in the drafting process. The project is implemented by Corporaci贸n Humanas.
UNDEF Project Officer Jaime Palacios visited the project in Santiago in March 2022.
Jaime Palacios also met in Valpara铆so with a new UNDEF project to be launched this year, also designed to support Chile鈥檚 current constitutional process. Implemented by the Universidad de Valpara铆so, the initiative will strengthen the participation and voice of socially marginalized groups in constitutional and public policy deliberations in the Valpara铆so region. Community organizations will participate in collaborative training on deliberative democratic spaces, and on ways to formulate and communicate demands. Ultimately, they will interact directly with government authorities.
